Patent number: 8216847Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing a predisposition for diabetes, comprising determining a metabolite in a test sample of a subject suspected to have a predisposition for diabetes and comparing the metabolite to a reference to diagnose the, predisposition for diabetes. Moreover, the present invention encompasses a collection of metabolites, a data collection comprising characteristic values of metabolites and a storage medium comprising the data collection. The present invention also relates to a system comprising methods or devices for comparing characteristic values of metabolites of a sample operatively linked to a data storage medium. Additionally, diagnostic methods or devices comprising a metabolite and its use for manufacture of the diagnostic method or device for diagnosing a predisposition for diabetes are provided, along with a method for identifying diabetes-related metabolites.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2007Date of Patent: July 10, 2012Assignee: Metanomics GmbHInventors: Bianca Bethan, Kristina Busch, Jan C Wiemer, Martijn Gipmans, Edgar Leibold, Jochen Spranger, Thomas Bobbert, Andreas Friedrich Hermann Pfeiffer

Publication number: 20100236321Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing a predisposition for diabetes comprising determining at least one metabolite in a test sample of a subject suspected to have a predisposition for diabetes and comparing said at least one metabolite to a reference, whereby a predisposition for diabetes is to be diagnosed. Moreover, the present invention encompasses a collection of metabolites, a data collection comprising characteristic values of metabolites and a storage medium comprising said data collection. Furthermore, the present invention also relates to a system comprising means for comparing characteristic values of metabolites of a sample operatively linked to a data storage medium. Further encompassed by the present invention are diagnostic means comprising at least one metabolite and the use of said at least one metabolite for the manufacture of diagnostic means for diagnosing a predisposition for diabetes.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2007Publication date: September 23, 2010Applicant: Metanomics GmbHInventors: Bianca Bethan, Kristina Busch, Jan Wiemer, Martijn Gipmans, Edgar Leibold, Jochen Spranger, Thomas Bobbert, Andreas Friedrich Hermann Pfeiffer

Patent number: 7700833Abstract: The invention relates to processes for the production of unsaturated fatty acids, preferably of conjugated polyunsaturated fatty acids such as conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), by the recombinant expression of desaturases from insects of the order Lepidoptera. Expression preferably takes place in an organism selected from the group of the plant organisms, yeasts, fungi and algae. Also, according to the invention are recombinant expression cassettes for the recombinant expression of desaturases from insects of the order Lepidoptera, and the transgenic organisms transformed with these.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2003Date of Patent: April 20, 2010Assignee: Cornell UniversityInventors: Andreas Renz, Martijn Gipmans, Ivo Feussner, Claire-Lise Rosenfield, Douglas C. Knipple
