METHODS FOR TREATING A DISORDER BY REGULATING GPRC6A

摘要

A disorder related to a non-genomic androgen response or a metabolic syndrome can be treated, inhibited, and/or prevented by regulating an expression level and/or activity of GPRC6A. Such a method can include identifying an individual with a disorder associated with a non-genomic androgen response or metabolic syndrome; and administering to the individual in need thereof an agent capable of regulating an expression level and/or activity of GPRC6A thereby treating the disorder associated with the non-genomic androgen response or metabolic syndrome. The regulation of GPRC6A can increase or decrease the concentration of a sex hormone within said individual, as needed for a particular disease. Such regulating can also be used to treat, inhibit, or prevent the symptoms of such a disease.
