    摘要: Provided are methods for determining concurrently with a simple, minimally invasive test, the adequacy of pancreatic beta-cell compensation and/or the presence of tissue insulin resistance in a subject human or an experimental animal. The methods allow for the determination of a subject's or experimental animal's susceptibility to developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) or to progression to more advanced forms of DM2. Among other uses, the methods allow for diagnostic classification of subjects for decisions regarding therapeutic interventions, clinical differentiation between type 1 DM and DM2, clinical monitoring of treatments intended to reduce risk of developing DM2 in non-diabetic subjects, clinical monitoring of agents intended to improve existing DM2 and to prevent progression of DM2, clinical development and testing of new compounds, candidate agents, or candidate therapies for preventing progression to DM2 or disease progression in existing DM2, and preclinical screening of candidate agents or candidate therapies in experimental animals to identify and characterize agents having insulin-sensitizing properties, pancreatic stimulatory or regenerative properties or other desirable actions.

    摘要: The present invention is based on the finding that enrichment of isotope-labeled creatinine in a urine sample following oral administration of a single defined dose of isotope-labeled can be used to calculate total-body creatine pool size and total body skeletal muscle mass in a subject. The invention further encompasses methods for detecting creatinine and isotope-labeled creatinine in a single sample. The methods of the invention find use,
    inter alia , in diagnosing disorders related to skeletal muscle mass, and in screening potential therapeutic agents to determine their effects on muscle mass.

    摘要: Provided herein are method for measuring the rate of synthesis, breakdown, transport, or other kinetic parameters of a protein in a tissue of medical interest, without requiring physical sampling of the tissue, by a measurement of the protein in a body fluid. Methods may include selecting one or more target proteins in a tissue; administering an isotope-labeled molecule to a subject for a period of time sufficient for said isotope-labeled molecule to enter into and label the one or more target proteins to produce one or more isotope-labeled target proteins; collecting a volume of a body fluid, wherein the volume comprises one or more isotope-labeled target proteins that escaped or were released from the tissue; enriching or isolating the one or more isotope-labeled target proteins from the volume; performing a mass spectrometric measurement of the isotopic content, rate of incorporation, and/or pattern or rate of change in isotopic content and/or pattern of isotope labeling of the one or more enriched or isolated isotope-labeled target proteins; and calculating at least one kinetic parameter of the one or more enriched or isolated isotope-labeled target proteins, where the kinetic parameter of the one or more isotope-labeled target proteins from the volume of a body fluid reflects the corresponding kinetic parameter of the one or more target proteins in the tissue; and inferring the at least one kinetic parameter of the one or more target proteins in the tissue based on the corresponding at least one kinetic parameter of the one or more target proteins in the body fluid.

    摘要: The present invention relates to biochemical methods for determining reverse cholesterol transport (RCT). Specifically, the three components of RCT (efflux, plasma, and excretion) are measured in vivo by administering an isotope-labeled cholesterol or cholesterol-related molecule or cholesterol-related complex, and then measuring the dilution or appearance of isotopes in the various cholesterol or cholesterol-related molecules or cholesterol-related complexes, as well as recovery in sterol end-products, that are part of RCT. A parameter of Global RCT flux, representing for the first time in living organisms that combined rate of cholesterol efflux from tissues into blood and excretion from blood out of the body, is generated. Such methods find use in drug discovery and development, diagnosis and prognosis of atherosclerosis and other blood vessel diseases and conditions, the selection of proper doses for treating disease, and selecting subjects for therapies targeting RCT flux.
