Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for treating optic disorders or for reducing or alleviating the signs, symptoms, or pathological conditions related to such optic disorders. In particular, methods are provided for treating optic disorders, or reducing the symptoms thereof, the methods involving the administration of one or more downstream folate compounds and/or methyl-B12. In one particular embodiment, the method comprises administration of L-methylfolate. In other embodiments, the method involves administering both L-methylfolate and methyl-B12. In still further embodiments, the method further involves reducing dietary intake of folic acid. In certain embodiments, the method further involves identifying a subject organism with a malfunction in one or more of the folate or B4 cycles. In certain embodiments, such a malfunction is one or more of the C677T and A1298C mutations.
Abstract: The invention relates to substituted pyridine compounds of Formula I: (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug, or solvate thereof, wherein A1, X, A2, R1a, R1b, R1c, G, and z are defined as set forth in the specification. The invention is also directed to the use of compounds of Formula I to treat a disorder responsive to the blockade of sodium channels. Compounds of the present invention are especially useful for treating pain.

Abstract: A method for alleviating at least one of the disturbance of bile acid metabolism, the disturbance of amino acid metabolism, and the disturbance of gut microbiota metabolism in a subject, comprising administering to the subject a composition or a health food comprising an active component selected from the group consisting of gallic acid, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of gallic acid, a pharmaceutically acceptable ester of gallic acid, and combinations thereof.
Abstract: Provided are methods for identifying or monitoring a subject having, or at risk of developing, impaired glucose homeostasis. Carboxy-4-methyl-5-propyl-2-furanpropanoic acid (CMPF) is shown to be a biomarker for impaired glucose homeostasis and/or conditions characterized by ?-cell dysfunction. Comparing a test level of CMPF in a subject to a control level identifies subjects having, or at risk of developing, impaired glucose homeostasis. Also provided are methods of causing impaired glucose homeostasis or ?-cell dysfunction and methods of screening for compounds that affect the activity of ?-cells. Also provided are methods for the treatment of ?-cell dysfunction by reducing the physiological levels of CMPF in a subject as well as the use of a OAT modulator for the treatment of ?-cell dysfunction.
