    摘要: The use of neuromedin U receptor agonists to elevate the levels of GLP-1 and/or PYY in an individual in need of an increase in its levels of GLP-1 and/or PYY is described. Further described is the use of neuromedin U receptor agonists to lower the levels of glucagon in an individual in need of lowered glucagon levels. Thus, methods for elevating GLP-1 and/or PYY and lowering glucagon levels in an individual by administering to the individual compositions comprising a neuromedin U receptor agonist and optionally one or more dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors are described. In light of the ability of NMU receptor agonists to raise GLP-1 and PYY levels and lower glucagon levels post-administration, methods are described for evaluating the efficacy of a treatment regimen for a metabolic disorder that includes administering a composition comprising a neuromedin U receptor agonist to an individual comprising measuring the level of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and/or peptide YY (PYY) and/or glucagon in the individual before, during, and after the treatment regimen.

    摘要: The present invention features melanin concentrating hormone receptor (MCH-R) chimeric and fusion proteins. MCH-R chimeric proteins comprise an MCH-R polypeptide region made up of at least two or more polypeptide regions characteristic of MCH-R found in different species. MCH-R fusion proteins comprise an MCH-R polypeptide region and a fluorescent protein region.
