Abstract: This invention relates to the regulation of metabolism and in particular to a gene named E4 involved in insulin resitance syndrome. The invention further relates to protein encoded by the gene and to means of regulating their biological activity. In addition the invention relates to the use of the gene and protein to identify therapeutic agents for controlling insulin resistance syndrome and other related disorders such as non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), dyslipidemia, obesity and atherosclerosis.

Abstract: The present invention is based on the discovery that the metalloproteinase, ADAMTS-1 (A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase), is associated with obesity, atherosclerosis, insulin resistance syndrome and non-insulin dependent diabetes. The application is directed to methods for screening for specidic modulators of ADAMS-1 activity, and the use of said modulators for treating the above-mentioned diseases.

Abstract: A device for control of the slice opening of a slice on a headbox contains several jackscrews that are distributed along and act against the control lip of the slice. A first carriage is moveable along a first track that is parallel to the row of jackscrews. A second carriage runs on a track on the first carriage in direction across the first track. The second carriage contains a drive motor that has a gripping device. By means of control devices and driving devices, the carriages are controlled so that the gripper in sequential order can mate with the drive shaft ends of the jackscrews for adjustment of the profile of the control lip and distance from the fixed slice lip by means of the drive motor.
