Abstract: The present invention relates to the treatment of metabolic syndrome or disorders associated with metabolic syndrome comprising administering a compound of the invention.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of treating obesity, anorexia nervosa, or bulimia nervosa comprising administering a compound of the invention conjointly with zonisamide, naltrexone, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The present invention further relates to the treatment of metabolic syndrome comprising administering a compound of the invention conjointly with zonisamide, naltrexone, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods of treating metabolic syndrome, or the specific disorders associated with metabolic syndrome, comprising the administration of norfluoxetine enriched for the (R) or (S) enantiomer conjointly with niacin, fenofibrate, a H1 antagonist or inverse agonist, or a H3 agonist or partial agonist.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods of treating metabolic syndrome, or the specific disorders associated with metabolic syndrome, comprising the administration of norfluoxetine enriched for the (R) or (S) enantiomer conjointly with a statin, a calcium channel blocker, halofenate, captopril, or an imidazoline receptor agonist (e.g., an I1, I2, or I3 receptor agonist).

Abstract: The present invention provides methods of treating obesity, eating disorders, and sexual dysfunction. The methods comprise administering to a mammalian host suffering from obesity, an eating disorder, or sexual dysfunction an effective dose of a compound of the invention. Also provided are methods of potentiating the effect of an MC4 receptor agonist in a mammalian host. In some cases the methods comprise administering to the host a compound that lowers the EC50 of the agonist. In other cases the methods comprise administering to the host a compound that increases the maximum effect of the agonist.
