| 1. A process for isolating an adipomodulin comprising the steps of:
a. providing a test sample from a human experiencing weight loss associated with a pathological condition;
b. isolating the proteins in the test sample that:
i. have a molecular weight of about 25 kDa to about 30 kDa;
ii. bind to anti-light chain antibody; and
iii. bind to adipocytes to promote lipolysis; and
iv. are not proteoglycans.
