    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 thermogenic adipocytes (e.g., brown adipocytes or other UCP-1 expressing adipocytes) by administering an antagonist of an ActRIIB signaling pathway. Examples of such antagonists include ActRIIB polypeptides, anti-ActRIIB antibodies, anti-myostatin antibodies, anti-GDF3 antibodies, anti-Nodal, anti-activin, and anti-GDF11 antibodies. A variety of metabolic and other disorders may be treated by causing an increase in thermogenic adipocytes.

    Abstract translation: 在某些方面,本发明提供通过施用ActRIIB信号传导途径的拮抗剂来增加产热脂肪细胞(例如,棕色脂肪细胞或其他表达UCP-1的脂肪细胞)的组合物和方法。 这些拮抗剂的实例包括ActRIIB多肽,抗ActRIIB抗体,抗肌生成抑制素抗体,抗GDF3抗体,抗淋巴结,抗激活素和抗GDF11抗体。 可以通过引起生热脂肪细胞的增加来治疗各种代谢和其它疾病。
