    摘要: A yeast-based method for identifying an agent that can modulate the activity of a human or mouse stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) is disclosed. Further disclosed are substrate specificities of various human and mouse SCDs, which facilitate the identification of modulators for human and mouse SCDs.

    摘要: The cloning of a fourth mouse SCD gene, mSCD4, as well as its corresponding cDNA and amino acid sequences are disclosed. Mouse SCD4 is expressed mainly in the heart tissue and synthesizes the bulk of monounsaturated fatty acids in the heart. The disclosure here enables new tools (e.g., nucleic acids, polypeptides, antibodies, vectors, recombinant cells, and transgenic and knock-out animals) for studying the function of various SCD isoforms and their connection to various disease conditions. New tools for converting saturated fatty acyl-CoA to monounsaturated acyl-CoA and for identifying SCD modulators including isoform-specific modulators are also enabled. In addition, given that accumulation of lipid in the heart (fatty heart) can have deleterious consequences, the present invention also provides a new prevention and treatment target for fatty heart as well as methods for screening candidate drugs.

    摘要: Methods for treating and preventing obesity, inhibiting adipocyte differentiation, inhibiting increased SCD-1 gene transcription, and/or reducing body fat in a subject include administering at least one analog of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 or 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D2 or a pharmaceutical composition that includes such an analog to a subject in need thereof. The analog may be a 19-nor vitamin D analog such as a compound of formula IA, a compound of formula IB, or a mixture thereof where the variables R1, R2, and R3 have the values described herein.
