- the present invention relates to methods of treating metabolic diseases associated with insulin resistance, specifically insulin receptor disorders (INSR disorders, or IR disorders) including those resulting from mutations in the insulin receptor (e.g., Type A insulin resistance, Rabson Mendenhall and Donohue Syndromes) and autoimmune insulin resistance (aka Type B insulin resistance); insulin resistance and associated mixed dyslipidemias caused by familial partial lipodystrophy, acquired partial lipodystrophy, and HIV/HAART-induced partial lipodystrophy disorders, and in reducing the mortality and morbidity of these patients.
- the present invention also relates to methods of treating patients with defects in insulin production, such as those suffering from type 1 diabetes mellitus.
- the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family is characterized by 22 genetically distinct, homologous ligands, which are grouped into seven subfamilies. According to the published literature, the FGF family now consists of at least twenty-three members, FGF-1 to FGF-23 (Reuss et al. (2003) Cell Tissue Res. 313:139-157).
- FGF-21 was isolated from mouse embryos and is closest to FGF-19 and FGF-23.
- This FGF subfamily regulates diverse physiological processes uncommon to classical FGFs, namely energy and bile acid homeostasis, glucose and lipid metabolism and phosphate as well as vitamin D homeostasis. Moreover, unlike classical FGFs, this subfamily acts in an endocrine fashion. (Moore, D. D. (2007) Science 316, 1436-8).
- Fibroblast growth factor 21 has been reported to be preferentially expressed in the liver (Nishimura et al., Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, 1492:203-206, (2000); patent publication WO01/36640; and patent publication WO01/18172) and described as a treatment for ischemic vascular disease, wound healing, and diseases associated with loss of pulmonary, bronchia or alveolar cell function and numerous other disorders.
- FGF21 has been identified as a potent metabolic regulator. Systemic administration of FGF21 to rodents and rhesus monkeys with diet-induced or genetic obesity and diabetes exerts strong anti-hyperglycemic and triglyceride-lowering effects, and reduction of body weight.
- FGF21 is a 209 amino acid polypeptide containing a 28 amino acid leader sequence. Human FGF21 has about 79% amino acid identity to mouse FGF21 and about 80% amino acid identity to rat FGF21.
- FGF-21 activates FGF receptors and downstream signaling molecules, including FRS2a and ERK
- FRS2a and ERK downstream signaling molecules
- FGFRs downstream signaling molecules
- FRS2a and ERK downstream signaling molecules
- ⁇ -klotho which is highly expressed in liver, adipocytes and in pancreas, as a determinant of the cellular response to FGF-21 (Kurosu, H. et al. (2007) J Biol Chem 282, 26687-95).
- ⁇ -klotho preferentially binds to FGFR1c, FGFr2c, FGFR3c, and FGFR4.
- the ⁇ -klotho-FGFR complex but not FGFR alone, binds to FGF-21 in vitro (Kharitonenkov, A. et al. (2008) J Cell Physiol 215, 1-7).
- a similar mechanism has been identified in the FGF-23-klotho-FGFR system (Urakawa, I. et al. (2006) Nature 444, 770-4).
- FGF-21 The bioactivity of FGF-21 was first identified in a mouse 3T3-L1 adipocyte glucose uptake assay (Kharitonenkov, A. et al. (2005) J Clin Invest 115, 1627-35). Subsequently, FGF-21 was shown to induce insulin-independent glucose uptake and GLUT1 expression. FGF-21 has also been shown to ameliorate hyperglycemia in a range of diabetic rodent models. In addition, transgenic mice over-expressing FGF-21 were found to be resistant to diet-induced metabolic abnormalities, including decreased body weight and fat mass, and enhancements in insulin sensitivity (Badman, M. K. et al. (2007) Cell Metab 5, 426-37).
- FGF-21 As an important endocrine hormone that helps to control adaptation to the fasting state. This provides a previously missing link, downstream of PPAR ⁇ , by which the liver communicates with the rest of the body in regulating the biology of energy homeostasis.
- the FGF21 polypeptide and protein, as well as variants and mutations thereof, have been evaluated for their metabolic effects on obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D).
- T2D type 2 diabetes

- insulin resistance e.g., Type 1 DM, insulin receptor disorders (INSR disorders) including Type B insulin resistance and HIV/HAART-induced partial lipodystrophy.
- STZ high dose streptozotocin
- T1D type 1 diabetes
- STZ is a beta cell toxin, administered to destroy beta cells, e.g., in the creation of mouse models with T1D-like symptoms.
- Treatment with either daily dose of wild type FGF21 or two doses a week of half-life-extended FGF21 was efficacious on improving overall disease condition in STZ mice, leading to a reduction in hyperglycemia, excessive food consumption and accumulation of ketone bodies, and an increase in utilization of carbohydrate and energy expenditure.
- an FGF21 analog could be used to treat diseases of impaired insulin signaling caused by dysfunction of INSR itself (either by mutation in INSR or by neutralizing autoantibodies to INSR).
- INSR KO mice are not viable and die postnatally, an equivalent animal model to the human condition does not currently exist.
- tissue specific KO of insulin receptor in mice fails to fully recapitulate the various disease states seen in humans with either mutation in INSR or autoantibodies to INSR. Therefore we used an anti-human INSR antibody to demonstrate that under conditions where glucose uptake by insulin was completely blocked by the Ab (10 nM Ab), FGF21 could still promote significant glucose uptake in these cells.
- an FGF21 analog can be used to treat hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, obesity, and dyslipidemia in diabetic leptin deficient ob/ob mice (Kharitonenkov, A, et al. (2005) Journal of Clinical Investigation 115).
- a common property of these mice is significant accumulation of liver fat. Liver fat in these animals is rapidly and dose dependently reduced with FGF21 treatment. Significant increase in liver fat is also associated with the types of insulin resistance and associated mixed dyslipidemias caused by congenital generalized or familial partial lipodystrophy, acquired generalized or acquired partial lipodystrophy, HIV/HAART-induced partial lipodystrophy and/or lipohypertrophy, and other lipid metabolism dysfunctions caused by HAART.

- the mature FGF21 sequence lacks a leader sequence and may also include other modifications of a polypeptide such as proteolytic processing of the amino terminus (with or without a leader sequence) and/or the carboxyl terminus, cleavage of a smaller polypeptide from a larger precursor, N-linked and/or O-linked glycosylation, and other post-translational modifications understood by those with skill in the art.
- methionine or methionine-arginine sequence can be introduced at the N-terminus of any of the FGF21 protein variants, for expression in E. coli , and are contemplated within the context of the methods of this invention.
- FGF21 protein variant “human FGF21 variant,” “FGF21 polypeptide or protein variant,” “variant,” “FGF21 mutant,” or any like terms, are defined as comprising human FGF21 in which a naturally occurring (i.e., wild-type) FGF21 amino acid sequence has been modified, e.g., in which at least one amino acid of the wild-type protein has been substituted by another amino acid, and/or removed. Additionally, the variants may include N- and/or C-terminal truncations relative to the wild-type FGF21 protein. Generally speaking, a variant possesses some modified property, structural or functional, of the wild-type protein. For example, the variant may have enhanced or improved physical stability in concentrated solutions (e.g., less hydrophobic mediated aggregation), enhanced or improved plasma stability when incubated with blood plasma or enhanced or improved bioactivity while maintaining a favorable bioactivity profile.

- variants of the invention may be more resistant to proteolysis and enzymatic degradation; may have improved stability; and may be less likely to aggregate, than their wild-type counterparts. As used herein, these terms are not mutually exclusive or limiting, it being entirely possible that a given variant has one or more modified properties of the wild-type protein.

- Some embodiments of the methods of the present invention comprise C-terminal truncations with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 amino acid residues from the C-terminal end of the mature FGF21 polypeptide.
- Truncated FGF21 polypeptides having C-terminal truncations of fewer than 13 amino acid residues exhibited an efficacy of at least 50% of the efficacy of wild-type FGF21 in an in vitro ELK-luciferase assay (Yie J. et al.

- Some embodiments of the methods of the present invention comprise truncated FGF21 polypeptides with a combination of N-terminal and C-terminal truncations. Truncated FGF21 polypeptides having a combination of N-terminal and C-terminal truncations share the activity of corresponding truncated FGF21 polypeptides having either the N-terminal or C-terminal truncations alone.
- truncated FGF21 polypeptides having both N-terminal truncations of fewer than 9 amino acid residues and C-terminal truncations of fewer than 13 amino acid residues possess similar or greater blood glucose-lowering activity as truncated FGF21 polypeptides having N-terminal truncations of fewer than 9 amino acid residues or truncated FGF21 polypeptides having C-terminal truncations of fewer than 13 amino acid residues.

Standard techniques can be used for chemical syntheses; chemical analyses; pharmaceutical preparation, formulation, and delivery; and treatment of patients.
- the truncated FGF21 polypeptides of the methods of the present invention can also be fused to another entity, which can impart additional properties to the truncated FGF21 polypeptide.
- a truncated FGF21 polypeptide can be fused to an IgG constant domain or fragment thereof (e.g., the Fc region), Human Serum Albumin (HSA), or albumin-binding polypeptides.
- HSA Human Serum Albumin
- albumin-binding polypeptides albumin-binding polypeptides.
- Such fusion can be accomplished using known molecular biological methods and/or the guidance provided herein. The benefits of such fusion polypeptides, as well as methods for making such fusion polypeptides, are discussed in more detail herein.
- FGF21 fusion polypeptide or “FGF21 fusion protein” refers to a fusion of one or more amino acid residues (such as a heterologous protein or peptide) at the N-terminus or C-terminus of any FGF21 protein variant described herein.
- Heterologous peptides and polypeptides include, but are not limited to, an epitope to allow for the detection and/or isolation of an FGF21 protein variant; a transmembrane receptor protein or a portion thereof, such as an extracellular domain or a transmembrane and intracellular domain; a ligand or a portion thereof which binds to a transmembrane receptor protein; an enzyme or portion thereof which is catalytically active; a polypeptide or peptide which promotes oligomerization, such as a leucine zipper domain; a polypeptide or peptide which increases stability, such as an immunoglobulin constant region; a functional or non-functional antibody, or a heavy or light chain thereof; and a polypeptide which has an activity, such as a therapeutic activity, different from the FGF21 protein variants of the present invention.
- FGF21 mutants fused to human serum albumin (HSA).
- FGF21 fusion proteins can be made by fusing heterologous sequences at either the N-terminus or at the C-terminus of an FGF21 protein variant.
- a heterologous sequence can be an amino acid sequence or a non-amino acid-containing polymer.
- Heterologous sequences can be fused either directly to the FGF21 protein variant or via a linker or adapter molecule.
- a linker or adapter molecule can be one or more amino acid residues (or -mers), e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 residues (or -mers), preferably from 10 to 50 amino acid residues (or -mers), e.g., 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, or 50 residues (or -mers), and more preferably from 15 to 35 amino acid residues (or -mers).
- a linker or adapter molecule can also be designed with a cleavage site for a DNA restriction endonuclease or for a protease to allow for the separation of the fused moieties.
- an FGF21 protein variant is fused to one or more domains of an Fc region of human IgG.
- Antibodies comprise two functionally independent parts, a variable domain known as “Fab,” that binds an antigen, and a constant domain known as “Fc,” that is involved in effector functions such as complement activation and attack by phagocytic cells.
- Fab variable domain
- Fc constant domain
- An Fc has a long serum half-life, whereas a Fab is short-lived (Capon et al., 1989, Nature 337: 525-31).
- an Fc domain can provide longer half-life or incorporate such functions as Fc receptor binding, protein A binding, complement fixation, and perhaps even placental transfer (Capon et al., 1989).
- Fc-FGF21 refers to a fusion protein in which the Fc sequence is fused to the N-terminus of FGF21.
- FGF21-Fc refers to a fusion protein in which the Fc sequence is fused to the C-terminus of FGF21.
- the resulting FGF21 fusion protein can be purified, for example, by the use of a Protein A affinity column. Peptides and proteins fused to an Fc region have been found to exhibit a substantially greater half-life in vivo than the unfused counterpart. Also, a fusion to an Fc region allows for dimerization/multimerization of the fusion polypeptide.
- the Fc region can be a naturally occurring Fc region, or can be altered to improve certain qualities, such as therapeutic qualities, circulation time, or reduced aggregation.
- a linker can, but need not, be employed.
- the linker's chemical structure may not critical, since it serves primarily as a spacer.

- a linker is made up of a majority of amino acids that are sterically unhindered, such as glycine and alanine.
- linkers are polyglycines, polyalanines, combinations of glycine and alanine (such as poly(Gly-Ala)), or combinations of glycine and serine (such as poly(Gly-Ser)). While a linker of 15 amino acid residues has been found to work particularly well for FGF21 fusion proteins, the present invention contemplates linkers of any length or composition.
- linkers described herein are exemplary, and linkers that are much longer and which include other residues are contemplated by the present invention.
- Non-peptide linkers are also contemplated by the present invention.
- alkyl linkers such as can be used. These alkyl linkers can further be substituted by any non-sterically hindering group, including, but not limited to, a lower alkyl (e.g., C1-C6), lower acyl, halogen (e.g., Cl, Br), CN, NH2, or phenyl.
- An exemplary non-peptide linker is a polyethylene glycol linker, wherein the linker has a molecular weight of 100 to 5000 kD, for example, 100 to 500 kD.

- a reactive group on the PEG moiety e.g., an aldehyde, amino, thiol, or ester group
- a reactive group on the FGF21 mutant e.g., an aldehyde, amino, or ester group
- Branched PEG derivatives also known as “Y-shaped” PEG derivatives, contain two linear methoxy PEG chain attached to a central core. The sterically bulky structure of these “Y-shaped” PEG derivatives will facilitate the single point attachment of the modified molecules.
- three kinds of “Y-shaped” PEG derivatives are Y-NHS-40K (useful for amine PEGylation); Y-MAL-40K (useful for thiol PEGylation); and Y-ALD-40K (e.g., Y-AALD-40K and Y-PALD-40K)(useful for N-terminal PEGylation).
- the “Y-shape” NHS ester will react with the amino group of lysine(s) or the N-terminal amine in biological active molecules to produce a stable amide linkage(s). This NHS ester will couple with the targeted molecules at pH 7-8.
- the “Y-shape” maleimide will react with the thiol groups in biological active molecules to generates a stable 3-thiosuccinimidyl ether linkage. This maleimide will couple with the targeted molecules at pH 5.0-6.5 in the presence of other functional groups.
- the “Y-shape” aldehyde will preferably react with the N-terminal amine in biological active molecules to produce a stable amine linkage in the presence of a reducing reagent such as sodium cyanoborohydride. This aldehyde will couple with the N-terminal amine of the targeted molecules at pH 5-8. Reagents for performing branched PEGylation are available through, e.g., JenKem Technology.

- a selected polymer should have a single reactive ester group.
- a selected polymer should have a single reactive aldehyde group.
- a reactive aldehyde is, for example, polyethylene glycol propionaldehyde, which is water stable, or mono C1-C10 alkoxy or aryloxy derivatives thereof (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,252,714).

- FIG. 11A The time course of loss in adipose mass is depicted in FIG. 11A .
- the weight of adipose depots ( FIG. 11B ) was measured as the sum of epidydimal, retroperitoneal and subcutaneous inguinal fat. These three depots were the only substantial depots detected since we used normal mice which were fed a diet with a low fat content (10% kcal from fat). Mice fed t10, c12 CLA diet (and treated with PBS) lost approximately 85% of their adipose mass during the six week study as compared to mice on Control Diet (1.6 g for Control diet versus 0.27 g for CLA diet).
- mice treated with FGF21 v101 lost an additional 0.15 g adipose mass (P ⁇ 0.05 by one-way ANOVA).
- mice treated with FGF21 v101 lost an additional 0.1 g adipose mass (not statistically significant).

Similarly, liver fat accumulation was reduced in mice treated with leptin. (0.75 g for PBS treated group, 0.48 g for leptin group.) All reductions in liver fat were statistically significant versus PBS-treated groups (P ⁇ 0.05 by one-way ANOVA). The reduction in FGF21-treated groups was not significantly different from the reduction in the leptin-treated groups.
- mice fed t10, c12 CLA diet and treated with PBS had a 40% increase in fed blood glucose (P ⁇ 0.05 by one-way ANOVA) and a 20-fold increase in fed plasma insulin (p ⁇ 0.05 by one-way ANOVA) consistent with significant insulin resistance and impaired glucose tolerance induced by the t10, c12 CLA diet and lipodistrophy.
- blood glucose was not elevated in mice on the CLA diet treated with FGF21 v101, in either the “treatment” or “prevention” modes.
- Blood glucose was partially elevated in mice on the CLA diet who were treated with leptin (230 mg/dL for PBS-treated group on CLA diet, 165 mg/dL for FGF21 “prevention” group on CLA diet, 163 mg/dL for FGF21 “reversal” group on CLA diet, 203 mg/dL for leptin group on CLA diet, 167 mg/dL for mice on Control diet) ( FIG. 12C ).
- mice on the CLA diet who were treated with FGF21 were treated with FGF21, in both the “treatment” or “prevention” modes and in mice treated with leptin (6.7-8.7 ng/mL for PBS-treated groups on CLA diet, 1.8 ng/ml for FGF21 “prevention” group on CLA diet, 2.2 ng/ml for FGF21 “reversal” group on CLA diet, 2.4 ng/ml for leptin group on CLA diet, 0.3 ng/ml for mice on Control diet)( FIG. 12D ).
- mice were dosed orally with glucose (2 g/kg, 8 ml/kg). Blood glucose was measured before the glucose dose and 10, 20, 40 and 90 min after the glucose dose and the blood glucose AUC 0-90 was calculated ( FIG. 12E ).
- the blood glucose AUC 0-90 was 30% higher in mice fed t10, c12 CLA diet (treated with PBS) as compared to mice fed the Control diet. Blood glucose AUC in control mice and mice on the CLA diet who were treated with FGF21, in either the “treatment” or “prevention” modes was reduced compared to the PBS treated group on the CLA diet.
- FGF21 V101 (1 mg/kg/wk) prevented and reversed liver lipid accumulation and insulin resistance in a lipodystrophy model using mice fed 0.6% t10, c12 conjugated linoleic acid. These data suggest that and FGF21 analog could be useful for treatment of insulin resistance and/or hyperglycemia induced by significant fat loss (lipodystrophy).
- mice Twenty-week old male C57BL mice (Taconic, Germantown, N.Y.) were housed four per cage in a normal light cycle room (light on from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.) and given access to food and water ad libitum. Lipodystrophy was induced by feeding mice a specially formulated diet containing ritonavir (0.2% w/w) in PicoLab Mouse Diet 20#5058 (21.6% kcal from fat). The mice in a control group were given Diet 20#5058 without ritonavir.
- mice on ritonavir diet became lipodystrophic (defined by increased plasma triglyceride level and weight loss at day 50 on the diet), they received either PBS (phosphate buffered saline) vehicle or FGF21 fusion protein V103, as described herein, (1 mg/kg, subcutaneous injection) for a total of 3 injections given on days 1, 8 and 17 of the treatment. Mice not on the ritonavir diet were also injected with PBS during the study. The total treatment length of the study was 25 days.
- PBS phosphate buffered saline
- FGF21 fusion protein V103 as described herein

- An insulin facilitated glucose tolerance test IFGTT, with an intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of a mixture of glucose at 1 g/kg and insulin at 0.5 U/kg was given on day 17 after 5 hours of fast. Plasma glucose levels were measured before and during the IFGTT.
- An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT, with an oral dose of glucose at 1 g/kg) was given on day 24 after an overnight fast. Plasma glucose and insulin levels were measured before and during the OGTT.
- Body composition was determined with Echo MRI before and after the ritonavir diet induction, and at the end of V103 treatment (on day 24). At the termination of the study, liver, epididymal fat and inguinal fat were collected and weighed. Liver and soleus muscle collected at the end of the study were analyzed for tissue lipid content.
- Glucose was measured using a glucose meter (Embrace, Omnis Health, Natick, Mass.). Insulin was measured using an ultra sensitive mouse insulin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit (Crystal Chem, Inc., Chicago, Ill., cat#90080). TG and FFA were measured using a highly sensitive fluorescent assay based on the horseradish peroxidase catalyzed oxidation of Amplex® Red by hydrogen peroxide to resorufin. Body composition was measured using EchoMRI-100 (Echo Medical Systems, Huston, Tex.). Liver and muscle lipid content was measured using NMR Mq-60 tissue fat analyzer (BRUKER Optics Inc., The Woodlands. Tex.).
- ELISA ultra sensitive mouse insulin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
- mice treated with Ritonavir for 8 weeks show a significant body weight loss and mild reduction in fat mass in. Due to a high fat content in both control and ritonavir diets, fat mass was more than doubled in both diet groups at the end of the diet treatment.
- V103 significantly reduced body weight (BW) and percent fat mass. Food intake was not affected by the treatment (data not shown). Body weight was measured during the V103 treatment, and percent fat mass was measured at the end of the treatment (day 24). V103 treatment led to a significant weight loss as well as a reduction in fat mass. #p ⁇ 0.05 by a two-way ANOVA compared to the Control-Vehicle group; *p ⁇ 0.05 by a two-way ANOVA (BW) or a one-way ANOVA (fat mass) compared to the Ritonavir-Vehicle group.
- V103 Treatment with V103 led to a significant reduction in plasma TG and FFA in Ritonavir-treated mice to the levels similar to those seen in the control diet group. Both plasma glucose and insulin were significantly reduced in mice treated with V103. The insulin level in the control diet group was elevated during the study, indicating insulin resistance as a result of a high diet fat content. In mice feed a standard chow diet, plasma insulin concentration is normally around 1 ng/ml (RD-2005-50000).
- Plasma TG and FFA were measured in a fed condition at the end of the treatment (day 25). V103 treatment significantly reduced plasma TG and FFA levels. #p ⁇ 0.05 by a one-way ANOVA compared to the Control-Vehicle group; *p ⁇ 0.05 by a one-way ANOVA compared to the Ritonavir-Vehicle group.
- V103 significantly improved glucose tolerance during an OGTT in both plasma glucose and insulin.
- Data are mean ⁇ SEM.
- N 7-8 per group.
- Plasma glucose and insulin were measured in a fasted condition during the OGTT. Both glucose and insulin levels in V103 treated group were significantly lower than the vehicle treated mice. *p ⁇ 0.05 by a two-way ANOVA compared to the Ritonavir-Vehicle group.
- HOMA-IR homeostasis model of assessment-insulin resistance, calculated based on fasting glucose and insulin levels
- V103 was highly efficacious on improving insulin sensitivity in ritonavir treated mice.
- Data are mean ⁇ SEM.
- N 7-8 per group.
- Fasting plasma glucose and insulin were measured on day 24 following an overnight fast.
- HOMA-IR in V103 treated group was significantly lower than the vehicle treated mice. *p ⁇ 0.05 by a one-way ANOVA compared to the Ritonavir-Vehicle group.
- Ritonavir treatment resulted in lipoatrophy with an increased liver mass. Liver weight was significantly increased while white adipose pad weight was decreased with Ritonavir treatment. V103 treatment resulted in a normalization of liver weight but a further reduction of adipose pad weight.
- Tissue weight of liver, epididymal fat and inguinal fat were measured at the end of the treatment (day 25). As indicated, tissue weight was significantly increased in the liver but decreased in epididymal fat in the Ritonavir-Vehicle group, and V103 treatment significantly reduced weight of all three tissues. #p ⁇ 0.05 by a one-way ANOVA compared to the Control-Vehicle group; *p ⁇ 0.05 by a one-way ANOVA compared to the Ritonavir-Vehicle group.
- mice developed lipodystrophy conditions, such as increased plasma TG and FFA levels, increased liver lipid content, and reduced fat mass and body weight. Since lean mice on a standard chow diet maintain a low fat mass and body weight, in order to provide a sufficient amount of fat for redistributing from adipose tissue to the liver with ritonavir treatment, Diet 20#5058 was used with or without (for the control group) addition of ritonavir. The diet, which has been used for mouse breeding purpose, contains double amount of fat compared to a standard chow diet. A disadvantage of using this diet is that it may cause insulin resistance due to its high fat content. Indeed, in this study we observed an increase in plasma insulin level and percent body fat mass in the control diet fed mice.
- V103 Treatment with V103 for just three doses in 25 days effectively improved dyslipidemic condition with significantly reduced plasma TG and FFA levels as well as lipid content in the liver and muscle.
- V103 treatment significantly enhanced insulin sensitivity and glucose utilization as illustrated by a suppression of glucose excursion during both IFGTT and OGTT as well as an improved HOMA-IR.
- V103 can provide a therapeutic approach for treating patients with lipodystrophy.
- the profound effect of V103 on weight loss and lipid reduction suggests its valuable potential for treating obesity and fatty liver diseases.
