International Classification:

G01N 33/573
C12N 9/20

US Classification:

435 74, 435198

Abstract:

The present invention relates to compositions for use in raising or lowering the level of LIPG polypeptide in a patient. Embodiments of the composition include compositions comprising: an anti-sense nucleic acid; a neutralizing antibody; an intracellular binding protein; an inhibitor which inhibits the enzymatic activity of LIPG polypeptide; an inhibitor which inhibits the expression of LIPG gene; a ribozyme; an LIPG polypeptide; an enhancer which increases the enzymatic activity of LIPG polypeptide; or an enhancer which increases the expression of LIPG gene. The invention relates also to methods for using the above compositions. In addition, the invention relates to a method for diagnosing a predisposition to lower cholesterol, a method for determining whether a test compound can inhibit the enzymatic reaction between LIPG polypeptide and HDL cholesterol, and methods for determining whether a test compound can enhance the enzymatic reaction between LIPG polypeptide and LDL or VLDL cholesterol.

International Classification:

A61K 31/445

US Classification:

514321, 514325

Abstract:

The present invention provides methods and compositions for treating hyperlipidemia and/or hypercholesterolemia comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of an MTP inhibitor to inhibit hyperlipidemia and/or hypercholesterolemia in said subject, wherein said administration comprises an escalating series of doses of the MTP inhibitor. In some embodiments the method comprises administering at least three step-wise, increasing dosages of the MTP inhibitor to the subject. In some embodiments, the method further comprises the administration of one or more other lipid modifying compounds.

Appl. No.:

11/068806

Inventors:

Mitchell Lazar - Gladwyne PA, US
Daniel Rader - Philadelphia PA, US
Muredach Reilly - Philadelphia PA, US

International Classification:

G01N033/53

US Classification:

435007100

Abstract:

The risk or progression of cardiovascular disease and coronary artery disease is assessed in a mammalian subject by measuring the level or concentration of circulating serum resistin in a subject and comparing the measured level to resistin levels within a standardized or standard population. Methods of treating cardiovascular diseases and/or inflammatory disorders involve administering to a patient a composition that can reduce the circulating levels of resistin.
