    Abstract: The disclosure relates to Lefty derivatives and the uses of Lefty polypeptides as antagonists of the function of certain ligands such as Nodal, GDF-8 (Myostatin), and GDF-11. These derivatives may be fused to other functional heterologous proteins such as IgG, especially the Fc portion of IgG. According to the disclosure, Lefty polypeptides are useful in the treatment of a variety of disorders, including, for example, neuronal diseases, muscle and bone conditions, and metabolic disorders.

    Abstract: In certain aspects, the present invention provides compositions and methods for increasing adiponectin in a patient in need thereof by administering an antagonist of an ActRIIB signaling pathway. Examples of such antagonists include ActRIIB polypeptides, anti-ActRIIB antibodies, anti-activin A and/or B antibodies, anti-myostatin antibodies, anti-GDF3 antibodies, and anti-BMP7 antibodies. Also provided are methods for ameliorating one or more undesired effects of anti-androgen therapy, including muscle loss, bone loss, increased adiposity, and/or increased insulin resistance. A variety of disorders may be treated by causing an increase in circulating adiponectin concentrations.
