  • METHODS OF REGULATING RENALASE (MONOAMINE OXIDASE C)
    Publication number: 20110081421
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods of using Monoamine Oxidase C (MAO-C), also known as renalase, as a therapeutic protein in its active and inactive forms. Administering inactive renalase protein to individuals with lower renalase levels can be used to provide them with an adequate pool of the protein that can be activated by the body as needed. Active renalase protein can be administered to individuals needing an immediate reduction of catecholamine levels. An inhibitor of renalase may be used to enhance adrenergic action.

  • Compositions and methods relating to glucose metabolism, weight control, and food intake
    Patent number: 6861405
    Abstract: The present invention relates to weight control, control of body fat and food intake, and provides useful methods for treating, inter alia, obesity, diabetes and insulin insensitivity, and conditions, diseases, and disorders relating thereto. The invention also relates to methods of identifying useful compounds relating to weight loss, food intake, diabetes, and obesity, among other things, based on the discovery that inhibiting Kv1.3 activity mediates decreased food intake, weight loss, decreased body fat, increase glucose uptake, and increased insulin sensitivity, among other things.
