AMYLIN AGONIST COMPOUNDS FOR ESTROGEN-DEFICIENT MAMMALS

摘要

Provided herein are methods to treat estrogen deficiency in mammals by administering amylin agonist compounds. Also provided herein are methods to treat obesity and overweight in estrogen-deficient mammals; methods to reduce or maintain body weight and/or body fat in estrogen-deficient mammals; and methods to increase Bdnf levels in mammals by administering effective amounts of amylin agonist compounds. The estrogen deficiency may be caused by menopause, perimenopause, post-menopause, ovarian dysfunction, an overectomy, a hysterectomy, and the like. The amylin agonist compounds may be any known in the art or described herein, such as pramlintide, davalintide, or SEQ ID NO: 142.
