摘要:
Substantially pure dimers of Apolipoprotein AI-Milano (APO-AI-M/APO AI-M) were isolated from plasma and characterized. Apolipoprotein AI-M dimer can also be produced in a recombinant Escherichia coli system. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the ApoAI-AI-M/ApoAI-M are described. Patients with atherosclerosis or cardiovascular diseases can be treated with the dimer. Medicaments containing the dimer can also be used to prevent thrombosis in different clinical circumstances, both at the arterial and at the venous level. The dimer can also act as a prodrug for the monomer.

Substantially pure dimers of Apolipoprotein Al-Milano (Al-M/APO Al-M) isolated and characterized from plasma are provided. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the Apo Al-M/Apo Al-M are also provided. Apolipoprotein Al-M dimer can be produced in a recombinant Escherichia coli system or collected from plasma from Apolipoprotein Al-Milano carriers. Atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases can be treated with the dimer. Medicaments containing the dimer can also be used for preventing thrombosis in different clinical circumstances, both at the arterial and at the venous level. The dimer can also act as a prodrug for the monomer.
摘要:
The invention relates to an expression system giving high extracellular production of apolipoprotein AI-M (Milano) using E. coli and comprises a plasmid carrying an origin of replication, an inducible promoter sequence, a DNA sequence coding for a signal peptide, a DNA sequence coding for apolipoprotein AI-M, and a transcription terminator. The invention also relates to a method of producing apolipoprotein AI-M using the expression system.
摘要:
Dysglucaemia is treated and/or prevented by the administration of granulated starch, enzymatically degraded and releasing reducing sugars at a rate, adjusted to the metabolism of the patient, suffering from dysglucaemia. For example nocturnal hypoglycaemia in diabetic patients is prevented by administering to said patients a granulate or tablets comprising granulated cornstarch, and preferably also heat treated cornstarch and a low calorie sweetener. The inventive granulation minimises the available surface area and retards the enzymatic degradation of the cornstarch and ensures a controlled, e.g. a substantially linear release of reducing sugars, such as glucose, and a stable blood glucose level during several hours. The granulate or tablets are low in calories and contain no free sugar.

摘要:
The nutritional deficiencies which constitute a serious side-effect of intestinal cleansing procedures can be alleviated or entirely avoided by a composition and method according to the present invention, wherein a complex carbohydrate is administered to the patient in a form and an amount which gives a blood glucose response similar to that following a normal meal, and stabilizes the blood glucose level above 3.5 mmol/l, preferably above about 4 mmol/l, thus preventing hypoglycaemia. The composition and method is suitable for all patients, but in particular for weakened, elderly or diabetic patients. The composition and method significantly improves the well-being of the patients, and does not reduce the cleansing effect achieved by conventional intestinal cleansing preparations or procedures, and has no known side effects. The preferred complex carbohydrate is native corn starch, and the composition may also include a simple carbohydrate, e.g. sucrose.
