  • Publication number: 20230113511
    Abstract: Use of a N,N,N-trimethyl-5-aminopentanoic acid antagonist in the preparation of a medicament for treating fatty liver or heart failure and a system for diagnosing fatty liver or heart failure. New treatment regimens are provided for fatty liver or heart failure. By antagonizing TMAVA, the levels of triglyceride and free fatty acids in the plasma and liver of a patient can be reduced, and at the same time, the inhibition effect of TMAVA on the activity of ?-isopropylbetaine hydroxylase can also be eliminated, and the weakening of free fatty acid mitochondrial ?-oxidation caused by the decrease of endogenous carnitine synthesis is avoided. It is thus determined that reducing the ectopic accumulation of fatty acids in the liver and heart is clearly effective in treating fatty liver or heart failure.

  • Patent number: 9005904
    Abstract: Provided herein methods for determining whether a subject, particularly a human subject, is at risk of developing, having, or experiencing a complication of cardiovascular disease, and methods of treating subjects who are identified by the current methods of being at risk for cardiovascular disease. In one embodiment, the method comprises determining levels of one or more oxidized apolipoprotein A-I related biomolecules in a bodily sample from the subject. Also, provided are kits and reagents for use in the present methods. Also provided are methods for monitoring the status of cardiovascular disease in a subject or the effects of therapeutic agents on subjects with cardiovascular disease. Such method comprising determining levels of one or more oxidized apolipoprotein A-I related molecules in bodily samples taken from the subject over time or before and after therapy.
