摘要:
Agonists of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) improve exercise and modify energy metabolism in a subject A combination of AMPK and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) delta agonists may also be used to improve exercise performance in a subject Methods for identifying substance-enhanced exercise performance in a subject, and methods for identifying compounds that affect the interaction of PPAR6 with exercise-induced kinases are also disclosed.
摘要:
The invention features compositions comprising in vitro generated beta cells capable of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, methods of inducing beta cell maturation from embryonic or induced pluripotent stem cell-derived beta-like cells, and methods of using in vitro generated beta cells for treatment of type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, or a related disorder.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are methods for enhancing one or more effects of exercise in a subject by administering a PPARδ agonist {e.g., GW1516) to the subject in combination with an exercise program. Also disclosed are gene expression profiles unique to the combination of agonist-induced PPARδ activation and exercise. Such profiles are useful, at least, in methods for identifying the use of performance-enhancing drugs in exercised subjects (such as, professional or athletes). Direct interactions between PPARδ and exercised-induced kinases {e.g., AMPK or its subunits, AMPK αl and/or AMPK α2) also are disclosed. Such protein-protein interactions provide new targets for identification of useful compounds.
