摘要:
It has been surprisingly discovered that administration of nitrite to subjects causes a reduction in blood pressure and an increase in blood flow to tissues. The effect is particularly beneficial, for example, to tissues in regions of low oxygen tension. This discovery provides useful treatments to regulate a subject's blood pressure and blood flow, for example, by the administration of nitrite salts. Provided herein are methods of administering a pharmaceutically-acceptable nitrite salt to a subject, for treating, preventing or ameliorating a condition selected from: (a) ischemia-reperfusion injury (e.g., hepatic or cardiac or brain ischemia-reperfusion injury); (b) pulmonary hypertension (e.g., neonatal pulmonary hypertension); or (c) cerebral artery vasospasm.

The present invention is directed to an improvement in a method of weight and/or body-fat reduction comprising a (preferably moderate) reduction in the caloric intake of a subject in need of such treatment in combination with administration to said subject of a prolactin inhibitor. Additionally, the present invention is directed to an improvement in a method for altering and/or resetting prolactin profiles (and thereby controlling one or more metabolic disorders such as obesity, excessive body fat, hyperlipidemia, hyperlipoproteinemia, hyperglycemia, hypercholesterolemia, hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, and Type II diabetes) comprising administration to a subject in need of such treatment of a prolactin inhibitor at a predetermined time or times during a 24-hour period in combination with a (preferably moderate) reduction of the caloric intake of said subject.

The present invention relates, in general, to a method of enhancing the production performance of avians, by administering to a bird a heterologous protein comprised of inhibin protein, or a fragment thereof, and a carrier protein. The present invention also relates to a method of enhancing the production performance of avians, by administering to a bird a fusion gene product comprising a gene encoded for the expression of alpha-subunit avian inhibin protein, or a fragment thereof, and a gene encoded for the expression of a carrier protein. An effective amount of the heterologous protein or fusion gene product is administered to an animal such that an immunological response occurs in the animal against the heterologous protein. The present invention further relates to the above heterologous protein and fusion gene product, and to methods of producing the same.

This invention relates to a method for inhibiting the growth of neoplasms, in a mammal having a prolactin profile. This method involves comparing the prolactin profile of the afflicted mammal to a standard prolactin profile for healthy mammals of the same species and sex and adjusting the prolactin profile of the afflicted mammal to conform to or approach the standard prolactin profile for a mammal of the same species and sex of the afflicted mammal, thereby inhibiting the neoplastic growth.

Non-A, non-B hepatitis antigen having a particle size of from about 2.0 to about 5.0 nm and a density of from about 1.24 to about 1.29 g/cc in CsCl. The foregoing antigen is isolated by isopycnic banding and chromatographic fractionation.

Methods, compositions, devices, and kits are described herein that are useful for detecting BoHV-1 infection in animals and/or for distinguishing animals that may benefit from administration of BoHV-1 tmv vaccine.
摘要:
Several terpene glycosides (e.g., mogroside V, paenoiflorin, geniposide, rubusoside, rebaudioside A, steviol monoside and stevioside) were discovered to enhance the solubility of a number of pharmaceutically and medicinally important compounds, including but not limited to, paclitaxel, camptothecin, curcumin, tanshinone HA, capsaicin, cyclosporine, erythromycin, nystatin, itraconazole, celecoxib, clofazimine, digoxin, oleandrin, nifedipine, and amiodarone. The use of the diterpene glycoside rubusoside and monoterpene glycoside paenoiflorin increased solubility in all tested compounds. The terpene glycosides are a naturally occurring class of water solubility-enhancing compounds that are non-toxic and that will be useful as new complexing agents or excipients in the pharmaceutical, agricultural (e.g., solubilizing pesticides), cosmetic and food industries.
