  • Patent number: 10406118
    Abstract: Inorganic anions nitrate and nitrite influence metabolic rate and glucose homeostasis. Infusion of nitrite iv caused an acute drop in resting energy expenditure (oxygen consumption) and nitrate, when given perorally, caused a drop in oxygen consumption during exercise and a depression of the increase in blood glucose observed after an oral glucose tolerance test. The doses of nitrate and nitrite did not cause any detectable change in methemoglobin levels of blood. Also, nitrate and nitrite did not alter lactate levels in blood. This discovery provides useful treatments to regulate the energy expenditure and glucose homeostasis of a mammal by administration of inorganic nitrite and/or nitrate.

  • Patent number: 10406161
    Abstract: A risperidone sustained release microsphere formulation is provided. The microsphere formulation comprise risperidone or 9-hydroxy risperidone or salts thereof, and a polymer blend having a first uncapped lactide-glycolide copolymer and a second uncapped lactide-glycolide copolymer, in which the first uncapped lactide-glycolide copolymer is a copolymer with a high intrinsic viscosity and the second uncapped lactide-glycolide copolymer is a copolymer with a low intrinsic viscosity. The sustained release microsphere formulation according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is suitable for large-scale industrialized production with improved stability, the in vivo release behavior of which will not change after long-term storage.
