摘要:
A method of delaying or preventing the onset of hypertension in mammals, including predisposed mammals, is disclosed. The method includes the administering of an effective amount of or increasing the effective concentration of growth hormone, an analog thereof or a functionally equivalent ligand.
摘要:
Liquid aerosol formulations for generating aerosolized insulin include insulin and at least one high volatility carrier which protects the insulin from thermal degradation during vaporization of the carrier. The carrier can be a mixture of ethanol and water and the liquid aerosol formulation can be propellant free. An aerosol generating device generates the aerosolized insulin by passing the liquid aerosol formulation through a flow passage heated to convert the liquid into a vapor which entrains insulin particles which mix with air to form an aerosol. The insulin particles can be dry insulin particles produced by a hand held inhaler. By controlling the concentration of the insulin in the formulation, the size of the flow passage and/or the amount of heat which heats the flow passage, the aerosol can be provided with a selected mass median aerodynamic diameter of 1 to 3 nullm or less than 1 nullm so as to be delivered to a targeted portion of the lung using the inhaler.
摘要:
The use of a PDE5 inhibitor without substantial PDE2 inhibiting activity, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of Type 1 Diabetes. A method of treating Type 1 Diabetes in an individual suffering from Type 1 Diabetes, which method comprises administering to said individual an effective amount of a PDE5 inhibitor without substantial PDE2 inhibiting activity, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
摘要:
A closed loop therapy system for controlling a concentration of a substance, such as blood glucose concentration, in the body of a user. The system and method employ a sensor system that measures a glucose level in the body, a controller that uses the measured glucose levels to generate an output that can be used to automatically or manually control an intradermal insulin infusion system to set a constant or time-varying profile of target blood glucose concentrations in a user, and then infuse an appropriate amount of insulin into the body of the user so as to reach and maintain the target values of the blood glucose concentration.
摘要:
A method for the treatment of diabetes mellitus and conditions associated with diabetes mellitus in a mammal, which method comprises administering an effective non-toxic and pharmaceutically acceptable amount of Compound (I) and insulin to a mammal in need thereof.
摘要:
The invention relates to the method for preparation of orally administrated insulin oil formulation comprising: dissolving an amount of insulin in an acidic aqueous buffer (A); adding A to liquid surfactant, the HLB value of which is between 10 and 20, with agitation to form a homogeneous solution (B); adding B to an oil, the HLB value of which is between 0 and 10, with agitation to form oil formulation. This invention has a simple process with low cost. After orally administrated, the formulation prepared with the process of the invention can resist the gastrointestinal degradation by digestive enzymes, and is easily absorbed for hypoglycemic effect.
摘要:
Systemic delivery of insulin to a mammalian host is accomplished by inhalation of a dry powder of insulin. It has been found that dry insulin powders are rapidly absorbed through the alveolar regions of the lungs.
摘要:
The present invention is directed toward peptide analogues of insulin B chain that are generally derived from peptides comprising residues 9 to 23 of the native B chain sequence. The analogues are altered from the native sequence at position 12, 13, 15 and/or 16, and may be additionally be altered at position 19 and/or other positions. Pharmaceutical compositions containing these peptide analogues are provided. The peptide analogues are useful for treating and inhibiting the development of diabetes.
