Abstract:
GLP-1 compounds comprising GLP-1 analogs and methods of using the GLP-1 compounds for treating metabolic disorders, enhancing insulin expression, and promoting insulin secretion in a patient are provided.
Abstract:
Antisense compounds, compositions and methods are provided for modulating the expression of forkhead box O1A. The compositions comprise antisense compounds, particulary antisense oligonucleotides, targeted to nucleid acids encoding forkhead box O1A. Methods of using these compounds for modulation of forkhead box O1A expression and for treatment of diseases associated with expression of forkhead box O1A are provided, in particular, for methods of treating diabetes.
Abstract:
The invention relates method of treating a patient in need thereof with a long acting agonist to the FGF21 signaling pathway. In a particular embodiment, the invention relates to the use of molecules that stimulate the FGF21 signaling pathway, such as long acting FGF21 polypeptides or agonist antibodies, to treat disorders or diseases associated with excess bile acid. The invention further relates to pharmaceutical formulations and dosing of long acting agonists of the FGF21 signaling pathway suitable for treating bile acid related disorders.
Abstract:
Compositions comprising antibodies that bind glucagon linked to GLP-I compounds are provided, as well as methods of using the compositions for treating, for example, metabolic disorders, enhancing insulin expression, and promoting insulin secretion in a subject.
Abstract:
The invention provides methods of identifying modulators, for example, inhibitors, of a G-protein coupled receptor. The modulators can be used for the treatment or prevention of metabolic disorders such as dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome and obesity. The invention also provides methods of treating or preventing metabolic disorders by administering modulators of G-protein coupled receptor function.
