  • Publication number: 20210386743
    Abstract: Studies in female mice lacking ovaries (and thus estrogen), and placed on a high fat diet (60% fat) to induce severe obesity, and then stimulated with a low level of high pressure stress on the heart to induce mild hypertrophy and activate natriuretic peptide signaling. Unlike females on the same diet and heart stress but with their ovaries, those without ovaries demonstrated marked weight loss from phosphodiesterase E-9 (PDE9) inhibition, in combination with improvement in their metabolic signature (reduced fasting glucose, cholesterol, and triglycerides), without any change in food intake, nor change in activity. Thus, in one aspect, the invention provides methods for decreasing body fat and increasing lean muscle mass in estrogen deficient obese female subjects comprising administering to the subjects, at least one PDE9 inhibitor.

  • Patent number: 10729337
    Abstract: The present application relates to systems and methods for non-invasively determining at least one of left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) or pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) in a subject's heart, comprising: receiving, by a computer, a plurality of signals from a plurality of non-invasive sensors that measure a plurality of physiological effects that are correlated with functioning of said subject's heart, said plurality of physiological effects including at least one signal correlated with left ventricular blood pressure and at least one signal correlated with timing of heartbeat cycles of said subject's heart; training a machine learning model on said computer using said plurality of signals for periods of time in which said plurality of signals were being generated during a heart failure event of said subject's heart; determining said LVEDP or PCWP using said machine learning model at a time subsequent to said training and subsequent to said heart failure event.

  • Patent number: 10292980
    Abstract: In DN-DISC1 mice, a mouse model for major mental illnesses, the model that expresses pathological phenotypes relevant to schizophrenia, mood disorders, and addiction simultaneously, the inventors of the present invention found pronounced levels of oxidative stress in the prefrontal cortex, but not in the striatum. These mice also displayed greater amounts of GAPDH-Siah1 binding, a protein-protein interaction that is activated under exposure to oxidative stress. The present inventors investigated the role of oxidative stress in other organ systems. As detailed herein, the inventors found that GAPDH-Siah1 binding was increased in mouse models of cardiac failure. It was also found, that certain novel analogs of deprenyl, significantly inhibited GAPDH-Siah1 binding in cardiac tissue.
