摘要:
A process is disclosed for controlling inflammatory tissue access through release of neuropeptides, such as substance P (sP), to insulin-responsive sensory neurons, whereby simultaneous control of insulin sensitivity/resistance is manifested. In models of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, sensory afferents, in particular TRPV1, have fundamental roles in insulin/glucose homeostasis, islet physiology and autoimmune tissue inflammation. By manipulation of the TRPV1 neuro-β-cell circuit or enhancement of pancreatic sP levels, normalization of insulin resistance, clearance of inflammation and prevention of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes is realized.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of altering the function of TRPV1+ sensory afferent neurons in the pancreas as a way of treating, managing, alleviating, etc., the symptoms and/or underlying causes of diabetes or abnormal glucose metabolism by increasing the release of neuropeptides, such as substance P (sP) or other tachykinin peptide, in the pancreas. This may be achieved by injecting a TRPV1 agonist, such as a capsaicinoid compound or capsaicin analog, or a neuropeptide, such as sP or other tachykinin peptide, directly into the pancreas, or alternatively, by stimulating one or more intercostal and/or subcostal nerves of spinal nerves derived from one or more thoracic segments T8 through T12 by chemical, electrical, surgical, mechanical, etc., methods.
摘要:
Described herein is a treatment comprising the following step: (a) injecting a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition into the celiac artery of an individual, wherein the pharmaceutical composition reverses recent onset Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). Also described is a method for identifying an individual who will be responsive to this treatment. In addition there is described a device containing the pharmaceutical composition for injecting the pharmaceutical composition into the celiac artery.
