Abstract: The present invention relates to novel protease variants exhibiting improved stability and or improved wash performance in liquid detergent. The variants of the invention are suitable for use in e.g. cleaning or detergent compositions, such as laundry detergent compositions and dish wash compositions, including automatic dish wash compositions. The present invention also relates to isolated DNA sequences encoding the variants, expression vectors, host cells, and methods for producing and using the variants of the invention.

Abstract: This invention is a method for treating human erectile dysfunction using therapeutic amounts of human growth hormone (GH) administered systemically. Severing the parasympathetic nerves that regulate the erectile function during the course of surgery produces erectile dysfunction. Damage to these nerves by diseases such as diabetes mellitus and alcoholism and during aging may also produce erectile dysfunction. GH stimulates the regeneration of severed parasympathetic nerves that regulate the erectile function restoring potency. GH may act directly or by stimulating the production of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I). The combination of GH plus an IGF (with or without one of the IGF binding proteins) may provide a better response than GH alone.
