Method of improving beta-adrenergic receptor function

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of increasing the sensitivity of a hyperinsulinemic patient to the anti-obesity and antidiabetic effects of a beta adrenergic receptor (betaAR) agonist. The method comprises administering to the patient the betaAR agonist and an agent that reduces plasma insulin levels and thereby increases the sensitivity of the patient to the effects of the betaAR agonist.
