Abstract
Methods for treating obesity are provided and include administering a polypeptide antagonist of a Na/K ATPase/Src receptor complex to a subject in need thereof. Methods for reducing adiposity and adipogenesis are also provided and make use of a polypeptide antagonist of a Na/K ATPase/Src receptor complex to a subject.
Claims15
A method for treating obesity, comprising administering a polypeptide antagonist of a Na/K ATPase/Src receptor complex to a subject in need thereof, wherein the polypeptide anatagonist comprises the sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1, or a functional fragment thereof.
A method for reducing adiposity, comprising administering a polypeptide antagonist of a Na/K ATPase/Src receptor complex to a subject in need thereof wherein the polypeptide antagonist comprises the sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1, or a functional fragment thereof.
A method for reducing adipogenesis, comprising contacting a cell with a polypeptide antagonist of a Na/K ATPase/Src receptor complex wherein the polypeptide antagonist comprises the sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1, or a functional fragment thereof.
