Claims18
A method of treating metabolic syndrome in a subject, the method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence of (Phe/Tyr)-Ile-Ala-Trp-Leu-Val-(Lys/Arg)-Gly-Arg-Xaa (SEQ ID NO:1), wherein Xaa is Gly-Arg or Gly-Arg-Gly, wherein one or more amino acids of the peptide are alkylated, acylated, or biotinylated.
A method of treating obesity in a subject, the method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence of (Phe/Tyr)-Ile-Ala-Trp-Leu-Val-(Lys/Arg)-Gly-Arg-Xaa (SEQ ID NO:1), wherein Xaa is Gly-Arg or Gly-Arg-Gly, wherein one or more amino acids of the peptide are alkylated, acylated, or biotinylated.
A method of treating metabolic syndrome in a subject, the method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a fusion peptide comprising a first portion consisting of the amino acid sequence of (Phe/Tyr)-Ile-Ala-Trp-Leu-Val-(Lys/Arg)-Gly-Arg-Xaa (SEQ ID NO:1), wherein Xaa is Gly-Arg or Gly-Arg-Gly, fused to a cell-penetrating peptide, wherein one or more amino acids of the fusion peptide are alkylated, acylated, or biotinylated.
A method of treating obesity in a subject, the method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a fusion peptide comprising a first portion consisting of the amino acid sequence of (Phe/Tyr)-Ile-Ala-Trp-Leu-Val-(Lys/Arg)-Gly-Arg-Xaa (SEQ ID NO:1), wherein Xaa is Gly-Arg or Gly-Arg-Gly, fused to a cell-penetrating peptide, wherein one or more amino acids of the fusion peptide are alkylated, acylated, or biotinylated.
