The present invention relates to novel peptide conjugates which have increased stability and are useful in the treatment of excess levels of blood glucose.

The present invention relates to a novel pharmaceutical formulation comprising a ratioed mix of: (i) one or more compounds that acts as an inverse agonist of the CB1 and/or CB2 receptor; and (ii) one or more compounds that acts as a neutral antagonist of the CB₁ and/or CB₂ receptor. Preferably both the inverse agonist of the CB₁ and/or CB₂ receptor and the neutral antagonist of the CB₁ and/or CB₂ receptor are cannabinoids. Preferably the cannabinoids are tetrahydrocannabidivarin (THCV) and cannabidiol (CBD).

The present invention relates to a lipid system, and methods for using such a lipid system, containing specific relative ratios of omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids. The lipid system may be used independently or as a component of a nutritional product. A lipid system according to the present invention may contain omega-3 fatty acids, omega-6 fatty acids, and omega-9 fatty acids with the ratio of omega-6 fatty acids to omega-3 fatty acids preferably being between 0.25:1 and 3:1, and the ratio of omega-9 fatty acids to omega-3 fatty acids preferably being between 0.4:1 and 3:1. The present invention also relates to methods for administering a lipid system or a nutritional product containing the lipid system to an individual.

The invention relates to variants and fusions of fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19), variants and fusions of fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), fusions of FGF19 and/or FGF21, and variants or fusions of FGF19 and/or FGF21 proteins and peptide sequences (and peptidomimetics), having one or more activities, such as glucose lowering activity, and methods for and uses in treatment of hyperglycemia and other disorders.

The invention is directed to a fusion protein comprising at least one FGF-21 (fibroblast growth factor-21) compound and at least one GLP-1R (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor) agonist as well as to pharmaceutical compositions, medical uses and methods of treatment involving the fusion protein, particularly in the field of diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity and/or adipositas.

The invention relates to variants and fusions of fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19), variants and fusions of fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), fusions of fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) and/or fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), and variants or fusions of fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) and/or fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) proteins and peptide sequences (and peptidomimetics), having one or more activities, such as glucose lowering activity, and methods for and uses in treatment of hyperglycemia and other disorders.

The invention is a method and composition for the prevention and treatment of type I and type II diabetes in a subject. The composition comprises an IgG-Fc fusion protein where the fusion protein comprises GLP-1, mutant GLP-1, or exendin-4.

This invention relates to a process of synthesis and composition of open chain (ring), closed ring, linear branched and or substituted polyamines, polyamine derived tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors and PPAR partial agonists/partial antagonists via a series of substitution reactions and optimizing the bioavailability and biological activities of the compounds. Polyamines prevent the toxicty of neutoxins and diabetogenic toxins including paraquat, methyphenyl pyridine radical, rotenone, diazoxide, streptozotocin and alloxan. These polyamines can be to treat neurological, cardiovascular, endocrine acquired and inherited mitochondrial DNA damage diseases and other disorders in mammalian subjects, and more specifically to the therapy of Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Lou Gehrig's disease, Binswanger's disease, Olivopontine Cerebellar Degeneration, Lewy Body disease, Diabetes, Stroke, Atherosclerosis, Myocardial Ischemia, Cardiomyopathy, Nephropathy, Ischemia, Glaucoma, Presbycussis, Cancer, Osteoporosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Multiple Sclerosis and as Antidotes to Toxin Exposure.

Certain novel 4-substituted N-acylated piperidine derivatives are agonists of the human melanocortin receptor(s) and, in particular, are selective agonists of the human melanocortin-4 receptor (MC-4R). They are therefore useful for the treatment, control, or prevention of diseases and disorders responsive to the activation of MC-4R, such as obesity, diabetes, sexual dysfunction, including erectile dysfunction and female sexual dysfunction.

Provided herein are variants and fusions of fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19), variants and fusions of fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), fusions of FGF19 and/or FGF21, and variants or fusions of FGF19 and/or FGF21 proteins and peptide sequences (and peptidomimetics), having one or more activities, such as glucose lowering activity, and methods for and uses in treatment of hyperglycemia and other disorders.

The invention discloses a health care product with the function of reducing blood sugar. The health care product comprises L-arabinose, chromium-enriched yeast and any one or more of taurine, Chinese wolfberry extract, L-carnitine tartrate and bitter melon extract. The health care product has the functions of reducing the blood sugar and controlling blood fat simultaneously, has good taste, and is particularly suitable for patients with diabetes.

An edible-fiber food for decreasing blood fat and cholesterol, regulating blood sugar, moistening intestine, and preventing constipation, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, intestinal cancer and breast cancer is prepared from water-insoluble fibers (19-80 Wt%) and water-soluble fibers (20-79%).

The invention relates to a solid beverage suitable for patients with diabetes mellitus, which is prepared in the following steps: mixing dry medicine power extracted from semen cassiae, gingkgo, fingered citron, barbary wolfberry fruit, green tea and raw hawthorn and the pulverized mixing powder of rhizoma polygonati, Chinese yam, tuckahoe, kudzuvine root and semen coicis; and then screening to form power for producing and preparing the solid beverage of the patients with diabetes mellitus. The special meal solid beverage has the obvious effects of systemically adjusting glucose metabolism, improving carbohydrate tolerance, insulin sensitivity, insulin function and microcirculation, lightening an insulin load, reducing blood fat and blood viscosity and eliminating radicals and adiposis hepatica. The special meal solid beverage is suitable for patients with diabetes mellitus, obesity, adiposis hepatica, hyperlipemia and hypertension and middle-aged and old people to have.
