Abstract: The invention provides specific GLP-1 analogs fused to specific IgG4-Fc derivatives. These fusion proteins have an increased half-life, decreased immunogenicity, and reduce effector activity. The fusion proteins are useful in treating diabetes, obesity, irritable bowel syndrome and other conditions that would be benefited by lowering plasma glucose, inhibiting gastric and/or intestinal motility and inhibiting gastric and/or intestinal emptying, or inhibiting food intake.

Abstract: The invention provides GLP-1 compounds coupled to two polyethylene glycol molecule or derivative thereof, resulting in a biologically active peptide with an extended half-life and a slower clearance when compared to that of unPEGylated peptide. These PEGylated GLP-1 compounds and compositions are useful in treating conditions or disorders benefited by lowering blood glucose, decreasing food intake, decreasing gastric or intestinal emptying, increasing beta (?) cell population, or decreasing gastric or intestinal motility.

Abstract: The present invention relates to glucagon receptor polypeptide antagonists which inhibit the binding of the hormone glucagon to its receptor. More particularly, the present invention relates to high affinity glucagon receptor antibodies or Fab fragments thereof that inhibit binding of glucagon to its receptor and their use in the treatment or prevention of type 2 diabetes (NIDDM) and related disorders in mammalian species.

Abstract: The invention provides a stable solution formulation comprising a GLP-1-Fc fusion at a pH between about pH 6 and about pH 8.5. analogs fused to specific IgG4-Fc derivatives. These formulations provide unexpected and considerably greater chemical stability than when compared to GLP-1 -Fc fusions at a pH outside the described ranges. The formulations comprising a GLP-1-Fc fusion are useful in treating diabetes, obesity, initable bowel syndrome and other conditions that would be benefited by lowering plasma glucose, inhibiting gastric and/or intestinal motility and inhibiting gastric and/or intestinal emptying, or inhibiting food intake.

Abstract: The invention provides specific FGF-21 compounds fused to specific IgG4-Fc or HSA derivatives resulting in fusion proteins that are biologically active with an extended elimination half-life and a slower clearance. These FGF-21 compound fusion proteins and compositions are useful in treating type 2 diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome.

Abstract: The invention provides GLP-1 compounds coupled to at least one polyethylene glycol molecule or derivative thereof, resulting in a biologically active peptide with an extended half-life and a slower clearance when compared to that of unPEGylated peptide. These PEGylated GLP-1 compounds and compositions are useful in treating diabetes, obesity, irritable bowel syndrome and other conditions that would be benefited by lowering plasma glucose, inhibiting gastric and/or intestinal motility and inhibiting gastric and/or intestinal emptying, or inhibiting food intake.
