摘要:
The present invention relates to the field of obesity research. Obesity is a public health problem that is serious and widespread. A compound, globular OBG3, has been identified that reduces weight gain in animals. This compound should be effective for reducing body mass and for treating obesity-related diseases and disorders. These obesity-related diseases and disorders include hyperlipidemias, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and hypertension.
摘要:
Methods and pharmaceutical compositions useful for modulating lipoprotein levels in vivo. The invention stems from the discovery that activity of the Lipolysis Stimulated Receptor (LSR) can be inhibited or enhanced by exogenous agents, including polypeptides.
摘要:
The invention provides novel APM1 genomic sequences, polypeptides, antibodies, and polynucleotides including biallelic markers derived from the APM1 locus. Primers hybridizing to regions flanking these biallelic markers are also provided. This invention also provides polynucleotides and methods suitable for genotyping a nucleic acid containing sample for one or more biallelic markers of the invention. Additionally, the invention provides methods to detect a statistical correlation between a biallelic marker allele and a phenotype and/or between a biallelic marker haplotype and a phenotype. Further, the invention provides diagnostic methods for early detection of obesity-related disorders.
摘要:
It is the object of the present invention to provide novel means for the treatment and/or prevention of thrombosis, tumor implantation, tumor seeding and metastasis. More specifically, the present invention relates to the use of a polypeptide comprising the globular head of Acrp30 for the manufacture of a medicament for treatment and/or prevention of thrombosis-related disorder, an hypertensive disorder of the pregnancy, tumor implantation, tumor seeding and metastasis.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the field of obesity research. Obesity is a public health problem that is serious and widespread. This application pertains to nucleic acids encoding a compound, globular OBG3 polypeptide fragments, vectors and transformed host cells containing these nucleic acids and methods of making the globular OBG3 polypeptide fragments.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the field of metabolic research. Metabolic disorders, such as obesity, are a public health problem that is serious and widespread. GSSP4 polypeptides have been identified that are believed to be beneficial in the treatment of metabolic disorders. These compounds should be effective for reducing cholesterol levels, body mass, body fat, and for treating metabolic-related diseases and disorders. The metabolic-related diseases or disorders include, but are not limited to, obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, atherosclerosis, diabetes, glucose intolerance, insulin resistance and hypertension.
