Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for treating a human subject afflicted with a metabolic disease with a pharmaceutical composition, comprising the steps of: (i) determining JAG1 expression level in the subject; (ii) identifying the subject as a predicted responder if JAG1 expression level is greater than 1.5 fg/ng 18S; and (iii) administering the pharmaceutical composition to the subject only if the subject is identified as a predicted responder.
Abstract:
A method of reducing a subject's plasma triglyceride level, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a gamma-secretase inhibitor in an amount effective to reduce the subject's plasma triglyceride level.

Abstract:
A patient who is a responder to a therapeutic treatment for insulin resistance or for one or more diseases associated with type 2 diabetes can be identified by the method of measuring the amount of HMW adiponectin and the amount of total adiponectin or LMW adiponectin in the patient's tissue (usually plasma or serum) before the therapeutic treatment commences; then commencing the therapeutic treatment; and finally measuring the amount of HMW adiponectin and the amount of either total adiponectin or LMW adiponectin in the patient's plasma or serum one or more times after commencement of the therapeutic treatment. The patient is predicted to be a responder to the therapeutic treatment if the ratio of the amount of HMW adiponectin to the amount of total adiponectin or LMW adiponectin increases after the therapeutic treatment commences.
