Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a composition for treating or preventing diabetes or a condition related thereto comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a BRS-3 agonist and a DPP-IV inhibitor.SOLUTION: The invention concerns combination of an amount of a BRS-3 agonist with an amount of a dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitor such that the combination provides an effect in lowering a blood glucose level or in increasing a blood GLP-1 level in a subject over that provided by the amount of the BRS-3 agonist alone and by the amount of the DPP-IV inhibitor alone and the use of such a combination for treating or preventing obesity and diabetes and conditions related thereto and conditions ameliorated by increasing a blood GLP-1 level. The invention also relates to the use of a G protein-coupled receptor to screen for GLP-1 secretagogues.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for preparing a pharmaceutical composition containing a GPR119 agonist having activity of GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) secretagogue. SOLUTION: The invention relates to a method of using GPR119 receptor to identify compounds useful for increasing bone mass in an individual. Agonists of the GPR119 receptor are useful as therapeutic agents for treating or preventing a state characterized by low bone mass, such as osteoporosis, and for increasing bone mass in an individual. The agonists of the GPR119 receptor promote bone formation in an individual. In a certain embodiment, the individual is a human. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide GPR41 and a regulator thereof for treatment of insulin-related disorders.SOLUTION: Provided is a method for identifying a blood sugar stabilizing compound through a step of contacting a candidate compound with GPR41 and a step of examining whether or not a functionality of GPR41 is regulated. The regulation of the functionality of GPR41 is related to a method for showing that the candidate compound is a blood sugar stabilizing compound. In addition, the invention relates to a method for identifying the blood sugar stabilizing compound, which includes the step of making the candidate compound contact with GPR41 and the step of examining whether or not the functionality of GPR41 decreases. A decrease in the functionality of GPR41 is related to a method showing that the candidate compund is a blood sugar stabilizing compound.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To activate a receptor independently of an endogenous ligand or a compound such as a drug. SOLUTION: A cDNA encodes a mutant human G protein-coupled receptor which is a constitutively activated receptor with a modified amino acid sequence, comprises e.g. hARE-3 (F313K), is non-endogenous, and is constitutively activated.
