ABSTRACT:
Methods for increasing lipolysis in a cell are described herein. Such methods comprise the application of an electrical current to a cell. In an embodiment, the application of the electrical current does not substantially alter the viability of such cell and/or preserves the viability of such cell. In an embodiment, such cell is an adipocyte. Corresponding uses and packages are also described.
