摘要:
Multimeric protein structures comprising at least two alpha-galactosidase monomers being covalently linked to one another via a linking moiety are disclosed herein, as well a process for preparing same, and methods of treating Fabry disease via administration of a multimeric protein structure. The disclosed multimeric protein structures exhibit an improved performance, in terms of enhanced activity and/or a longer lasting activity under both lysosomal conditions and in a serum environment.
摘要:
Multimeric protein structures are disclosed herein, as well a process for preparing same, and methods employing same for treating various diseases or disorders. The multimeric protein structures comprise at least two monomers of a therapeutic protein, including a TNF-alpha, a luteinizing hormone, an immunoglobin, a TNF-alpha receptor, a CTLA-4, a urate oxidase, a VEGF, a PDGF, a VEGF receptor, a PDGF receptor, an interleukin-17, and/or fragments thereof, the monomers being covalently linked to one another via a linking moiety. The multimeric protein structures exhibit improved performance as compared to the corresponding native proteins, including a longer lasting activity in vivo.

摘要:
Multimeric protein structures comprising at least two glucocerebrosidase molecules being covalently linked to one another via a linking moiety are disclosed herein, as well a process for preparing same, and uses thereof in the treatment of Gaucher disease. The multimeric protein structures are characterized by longer-lasting activity as compared to native glucocerebrosidase both in serum and in lysosomes.

摘要:
The invention provides methods for treatment of conditions which require phytosterol therapy without adversely affecting the bioavailability of lipophilic vitamins or lipophilic drugs. The method includes administering a mixture of phytosterol ester(s) (PS-E) and 1,3-diglyceride(s) (DAG) dissolved in an edible oil or fat. The invention also provides a method of improving weight management and a method of treating metabolic conditions that result in overweight. Dietary nutrients, food supplements and food articles containing the mixture are also provided.
摘要:
Described herein are various lipid mixtures, more particularly special mixtures of fatty acids esters, which may be phytosterol esters and/or glyceride esters. Said mixtures are evaluated in the context of their ability to, upon consumption, affect the levels of circulating LDL and HDL particles, and their therapeutic effect on conditions associated with lipid metabolism, such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, metabolic disorders, etc. Compositions, dietary nutrients, food supplements and nutraceuticals comprising the herein described mixtures are also described.
