1. A method for treating a subject comprising administering to said subject an amount of an A3 adenosine receptor (A3AR) ligand, the amount being effective to achieve at least one fat loss effect selected from:
reduce weight of the subject;
reduce body fat mass in the subject
wherein said fat loss effect refers to reducing adipose tissues that are intended to store fat and excluding ectopic fat,
wherein said A3AR ligand inhibits adipocyte proliferation, and
wherein said A3AR ligand is CI-IB-MECA or N-(3,4-Dichloro-phenyl)-2-cyclohexyl-1H-imidazo [4,5-c]quinolin-4-amine (CF602).
