Abstract: The present invention relates to lipopeptide-based compounds for use in the diagnosis, prevention and/or treatment of a liver disease or condition, preferably liver involved metabolic diseases, as well as in the control or modification of the cholesterol level or cholesterol uptake and, thus, diagnosis, prevention and/or treatment of a cardiovascular disease. The present invention furthermore relates to an in vitro or in vivo assay or method for testing or measuring the NTCP-mediated transport of test compound(s). The present invention furthermore relates to a method for the diagnosis, prevention and/or treatment of a liver disease or condition, comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a lipopeptide-based compound to a patient. The present invention furthermore relates to a method for the diagnosis, prevention and/or treatment of a cardiovascular disease.

Abstract: Container holder and filling device for filling containers with a filling product, for the open jet filling of containers with a beverage in a beverage filling plant. The container holder comprises: a holding portion which is set up for the receiving and holding of a container; a main carrier which is attachable to the filling device; and a compensation carrier which is adjustable in a compensation direction relative to the main carrier and to which the holding portion is attached.

Abstract: A method of and device for feeding into the charging funnel of a worm machine strip-shaped or irregularly formed partial pieces of material, especially rubber, dosed by weight as components of a mixture, according to which the pieces are weighed individually and are conveyed to the worm machine in a cycle sequence time compensating for the difference of the rated value or preselected weight and the actual value of the weight of the individual piece. The device for practicing the method according to the invention has an electric scale preferably connected to an analog converter, which scale feeds a starting voltage proportional to the actual weight of the partial pieces to a rated value -- actual value comparator and to an electric calculator which latter determines the change in the cycle sequence time in conformity with the deviation from the preselected weight of the respective partial piece.
