    Abstract: This invention relates to the isolation and cloning of the promoter and other control regions of a human ob gene. It provides a method for identifying and screening for agents useful for the treatment of diseases and pathological conditions affected by the level of expression of an ob gene. These agents interact directly or indirectly with the promoter or other control regions of the ob gene. A PPAR.gamma. agonist, BRL49653, has been identified to be useful in treating anorexia, cachexia, and other diseases characterized by insufficient food intake or body weight loss. Modulators of ob gene expression may be used to treat other diseases such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and infertility.

    Abstract translation: 本发明涉及人ob基因的启动子和其他对照区域的分离和克隆。 它提供了一种鉴定和筛选可用于治疗受ob基因表达水平影响的疾病和病理状况的药剂的方法。 这些试剂与ob基因的启动子或其他控制区直接或间接相互作用。 已经鉴定出PPARγ激动剂BRL49653可用于治疗以食物摄入不足或体重减轻为特征的厌食症,恶病质和其他疾病。 ob基因表达的调节剂可用于治疗其他疾病,如肥胖,糖尿病,高血压,心血管疾病和不育症。
