Modified Dynorphin Expression in Animals and Identification of Compounds for Treatment of Obesity and Diabetes
摘要:
The present invention provides novel transgenic animal models of reduced dynorphin expression in humans that are useful for identifying compounds that are antagonists, inverse agonists, agonists or mimetics of one or more dynorphin peptide products of preprodynorphin. The compounds identified in such screening assays are useful in contexts related to the treatment of obesity and type II diabetes including, for example, improving weight loss and/or reducing appetite during dieting; treating feeding disorders; and for modifying fat mass and reducing glucose intolerance in males.
