Abstract:
The invention generally relates to methods of treating a patient having, and/or at risk of, oxidative distress disorders and/or age-related disorders. The disclosure also generally relates to methods of treating memory impairment or enhancing the cognitive function of a patient in need thereof. Such methods may include administering a therapeutically effective amount of a MetAP2 inhibitor.
Abstract:
The invention generally relates to methods of treating an overweight or obese subject, and treating overweight- or obesity-related conditions using non-daily administration of e.g, a MetAP-2 inhibitor.
Abstract:
A pulley assembly (30) operable in connection with a tensioner assembly (20) is provided for tensioning a belt. The pulley assembly (30) includes one or more elements for sealing the pulley to protect the pulley assembly in harsh environments. For instance, the pulley assembly may include one or more shields (50,70) for protecting the pulley from contaminants entering the interior of the pulley assembly that can lead to premature failure.
Abstract:
A hemostatic hydrocolloid gel dental impression material formulated from an agar hydrocolloid modified by the inclusion of potassium sulfate in the amount of between about 4-12 %. The potassium sulfate acts as a hemostatic additive, to cause constriction of the blood vessels and terminate bleeding into the dental impression composition.
Abstract:
A method of detecting protein interactions is described wherein reporter protein fragments are genetically fused at internal positions of suspected interacting proteins. When proteins interact, the fluorescent fragments are brought close enough together to form a functional reporter protein providing visible confirmation of interaction.
Abstract:
The invention generally relates in part to methods of reducing hepatobiliary dysfunction and reducing risk of incident hepatobiliary dysfunction, comprising administering a MetAP2 inhibitor to patients in need thereof. The invention also relates in part to methods of effecting weight loss while reducing hepatic injury or risk thereof, comprising administering a MetAP2 inhibitor.
Abstract:
The invention generally relates to methods of treating a patient having, and/or at risk of, cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disorders. Such methods may include administering a MetAP2 inhibitor at a dose that does not substantially modulate angiogenesis.

Abstract:
The invention generally relates in part to methods of effecting weight loss and/or improving glucose tolerance in a patient in need thereof, comprising administering a MetAP2 inhibitor. Type 2 diabetes is a growing health problem affecting more than 20 million people. Type 2 diabetes is often associated with obesity or with weight gain, although patients with normal weight can also suffer from this disease.
