Abstract: Methods of treating metabolic diseases and disorders using a composition comprising an antigen binding protein specific for the GIPR polypeptide conjugated to a GLP-1 receptor agonist are provided. In various embodiments the metabolic disease or disorder is type 2 diabetes, obesity, dyslipidemia, elevated glucose levels, elevated insulin levels and diabetic nephropathy. In certain embodiments the composition comprises an antibody or functional fragment thereof comprising a cysteine at one or more conjugation site(s) wherein the GLP-1 receptor agonist is conjugated to the antibody or functional fragment thereof through the side-chain of the cysteine residue.

Abstract: The invention relates method of treating a patient in need thereof with a long acting agonist to the FGF21 signaling pathway. In a particular embodiment, the invention relates to the use of molecules that stimulate the FGF21 signaling pathway, such as long acting FGF21 polypeptides or agonist antibodies, to treat disorders or diseases associated with excess bile acid. The invention further relates to pharmaceutical formulations and dosing of long acting agonists of the FGF21 signaling pathway suitable for treating bile acid related disorders.
