Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of metabolic research. Metabolic disorders, such as obesity, are a public health problem that is serious and widespread. GSSP4 polypeptides have been identified that are believed to be beneficial in the treatment of metabolic disorders. These compounds should be effective for reducing cholesterol levels, body mass, body fat, and for treating metabolic-related diseases and disorders. The metabolic-related diseases or disorders include, but are not limited to, obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, atherosclerosis, diabetes, glucose intolerance, insulin resistance and hypertension.

Abstract: The invention relates to an aircraft engine assembly (1) including an engine (6) and an engine mounting device (4), the mounting device being designed to be inserted between a wing of the aircraft and the engine, and comprising a rigid structure (8) and means of mounting the engine onto the rigid structure, the mounting means comprising a forward fastener (10) and an aft fastener (12). According to the invention, the aft fastener comprises two aft half-fasteners (12a) that will each resist at least the forces applied along a longitudinal direction (X) of the engine, and the two aft half-fasteners are arranged so that a horizontal plane (P) passing through a longitudinal axis (5) of the engine passes through each of them.
