  • Publication number: 20110070291
    Abstract: Food or beverage compositions fortified with thyronines and/or thyronamines, processes for increasing T2, T1AM, and/or T0AM in a subject by administering a food or beverage composition that is fortified with at least one thyronine and/or thyronamine compound, and processes for promoting a healthy state by administering a food or beverage composition to a subject that is fortified with at least one thyronine and/or thyronamine compound.

  • Publication number: 20040253648
    Abstract: Methods for screening, identifying and/or designing agents that modulate nuclear receptors are provided. These agents contact a site on a nuclear receptor involved in dimer/heterodimer formation, cofactor molecule interactions, and/or folding, which is termed the nuclear receptor dimer/heterodimer regulatory site (DHRS). Methods employing the DHRS are included, along with nuclear receptor:agent complexes and libraries of agents.
