Abstract:
This invention provides a method for identifying a treatment regime for a compound or composition effective in treating a PPAR mediated disease or condition. The method includes determingin a treatment regime for the compound or composition that causes expression of a surrogate market for PPAR delta activity whereby the determined dose and route of administration identifies an effective treatment protocol.
Abstract:
A solved three-dimensional crystal structure of an HNF4g ligand binding domain polypeptide is disclosed, along with a crystal form of the HNF4g ligand binding domain. Methods of designing modulators of the biological activity of HNF4g, and other HNF4 ligand binding domain polypeptides are also disclosed
Abstract:

Abstract:
The invention relates to methods for the treatment or prevention of an LXR mediated disease or condition, including cariovascular disease and atherosclerosis, novel compounds for use in such methods and pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds for use in such methods.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a compound of formula (I), wherein all variables are as defined herein, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts or solvates thereof. The compounds of formula (I) are useful as LXR agonists.
Abstract:
Novel compounds of Formula (1) and esters, salts, and physiologically functional derivatives thereof are disclosed. Methods for preparing and using the compounds are also disclosed. Many of these compounds are selective activators of PPAR alpha. The compounds are particularly useful for treating obesity.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel human orphan nuclear receptor that binds to a cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase (CYP) promoter and that is activated by compounds that induce CYP gene expression. The invention further relates to nucleic acid sequences encoding such a receptor, to methods of making the receptor and to methods of using the receptor and nucleic acid sequences encoding same. The invention also relates to non-human animals transformed to express the human receptor and to methods of using such animals to screen compounds for drug interactions and toxicities.
