Production of human monoclonal autoantibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase Mr 65,000 (GAD65), characterization of their isotype, binding affinity, V region sequences and competition with autoantibodies in patients' sera is described. Lymphocytes from a p ...
This invention relates to the isolation and cloning of the promoter and other control regions of a human ob gene. It provides a method for identifying and screening for agents useful for the treatment of diseases and pathological conditions affected by the ...
Fatty acid transporter protein (FATP)-1 mRNA expression was investigated in skeletal muscle and in subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue of 17 healthy lean, 13 nondiabetic obese, and 16 obese type 2 diabetic subjects. In muscle, FATP-1 mRNA levels were hig ...
Thiazolidinediones, which are being developed for the treatment of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus, bind and activate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma, a nuclear receptor that regulates the expression of several genes involv ...
The GABA-synthesizing enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) is expressed in pancreatic beta-cells and GABA has been suggested to play a role in islet cell development and function. Mouse beta-cells predominantly express the larger isoform of the enzyme, ...
This invention relates to methods and compositions for the prevention and treatment of Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease with diabetic or pre-diabetic conditions or symptoms associated therewith using both a PPAR gamma agonist and a PPAR alpha ago ...
Glut-2 is a low-affinity transporter present in the plasma membrane of pancreatic beta-cells, hepatocytes and intestine and kidney absorptive epithelial cells of mice. In beta-cells, Glut-2 has been proposed to be active in the control of glucose-stimulate ...
Immunoprecipitating IgG autoantibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase, GAD65, and/or a tyrosine phosphatase, IA2, are present in the majority of individuals experiencing pan- creatic cell destruction and development of type 1 diabe- tes. Here we identify a ...
The metabolic nuclear receptors act as metabolic and toxicological sensors, enabling the organism to quickly adapt to environmental changes by inducing the appropriate metabolic genes and pathways. Ligands for these metabolic receptors are compounds from d ...
Administration of autoantigens through DNA immunizations or via the oral route can prevent progression of islet destruction and lower the incidence of type 1 diabetes in animal models. This beneficial effect is mediated by autoreactive regulatory CD4 lymph ...
