摘要:
The present invention provides compositions and methods for diagnosing and treating diabetes, insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. In particular, the invention provides methods of identifying modulators of AKR1C as well as methods of diagnosing diabetes by measuring the levels of AKR1C or 9α, 11β-PGF2α in a patient.
摘要:
Compounds and methods are provided for the treatment of, inter alia, Type II diabetes and other diseases associated with poor glycemic control. The compounds of the invention are orally active.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for producing an enantiomerically enriched α-(phenoxy)phenylactic acid compound of the formula: from its enantiomeric mixture, where R1 is alkyl or haloalkyl and X is halide.
摘要:
The invention relates to methods of determining islet cell activity by detecting the level of Archipelin or a fragment thereof and comparing the level to a baseline level or range associated with a known islet cell activity. Such methods are useful in diagnosing and studying the development of diabetes.
摘要:
Substituted phenylacetic acids, phenylethanols and related compounds are provided that are useful in treating or controlling a number of diseases associated with glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism and insulin secretion.
摘要:
Expression of beta-TRP is enriched in islet cells. Introduction of expression cassettes encoding beta-TRP into diabetic islet cells improved glucose-stimulated insulin production. Therefore, the invention provides methods of identifying beta-TRP modulators for treating diabetic individuals and introducing beta-TRP into islet cells
摘要:
The present invention provides polynucleotides encoding potassium channels as well as methods of using the potassium channels to treat and diagnose diabetes and a predisposition for diabetes.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to certain novel compounds represented by Formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, hydrates and prodrugs thereof. The present invention is also directed to methods of making and using such compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds to treat or control a number of diseases mediated by PPAR such as glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism and insulin secretion, specifically Type 2 diabetes, hyperinsulinemia, hyperlipidemia, hyperuricemia, hypercholesteremia, atherosclerosis, one or more risk factors for cardiovascular disease, Syndrome X, hypertriglyceridemia, hyperglycemia, obesity and eating disorders.
摘要:
The invention provides apoptosis signaling kinase related kinase (ASKRK) nucleic acid and polypeptide sequences and methods of using such sequences to identify modulators of ASKRK. Such modulators can be used for the treatment of diabetes or for delaying the onset of diabetes. The invention also provides methods of diagnosing diabetes or pre-diabetes and methods of making a prognosis based on the detection of ASKRK nucleic acids and proteins.
