摘要:
It is intended to provide a novel method of testing a remedy or a preventive for at least one disease selected from among hyperlipemia, arteriosclerosis and hyperglycemia. More specifically, a method which comprises culturing cultured cells in the presence or absence of a test substance, detecting the mRNA expression dose, promoter activity or protein production level of “angiopoetin−associated protein 3 or 4” gene, and thus selecting a test substance showing a lowered mRNA expression dose, promoter activity or protein production level thus detected in the cells cultured in the presence thereof compared with the cells cultured in the absence thereof.
摘要:
A novel method of testing a remedy or a preventive for hyperlipemia; and a nucleic acid probe, a primer and an antibody which are employed in this method. More particularly speaking, a method of testing the effect of a test substance as a remedy or a preventive for hyperlipemia by using the expression of a gene represented by SEQ ID NO:1 or 2 in Sequence Listing, which participates in the control of the blood neutral fat level of mammalians, as an indication; and a nucleic acid probe, a primer and an antibody employed in this method. By using this method, candidates for preventives or remedies for hyperlipemia can be searched for.
