  • DRUG COMBINATION FOR TREATING OBESITY
    Publication number: 20230210826
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods of treating obesity, pre-diabetes, diabetes, and/or obese breast cancer, by increasing mitochondrial metabolism by increasing the activity of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) in adipocytes. The disclosed methods comprise contacting an adrenergic receptor agonist with an adipocyte in which the genomic activity of estrogen receptor beta (ER?) has been inhibited or inactivated. In certain aspects, inhibition or inactivation of the genomic activity of ER? is achieved by contacting the adipocyte with an ER? ligand that selectively inhibits or inactivates the ER? genomic activity.
