  • Synergistic use of thiazolidinediones with glucagon-like peptide-1 and agonists thereof to treat metabolic instability associated with non-insulin dependent diabetes
    Patent number: 7223728
    Abstract: Thiazolidinedione (TZD) and its pharmacologically active derivatives can be used, in combination with agonists of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), to treat non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, optionally with other therapies, by improving glycemic control while minimizing side effects, such as heart hypertrophy and elevated fed-state plasma glucose, which are associate with both TZD and GLP-1 monotherapies. Thus, the co-administration of TZD and GLP-1 helps regulate glucose homeostasis in Type II diabetic patients.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 6, 2003
    Date of Patent: May 29, 2007
    Assignee: Eli Lilly and Company
    Inventors: Fatima Emitsel Yakubu-Madus, Lawrence Edward Stramm, William Terry Johnson, Louis Vignati
