<p>This invention relates to compositions and methods for achieving a synergistic effect in treating insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus in a mammal. More specifically, this invention relates to synergistic composition comprising amounts of choline base or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and succinic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which are presented in amounts sufficient to cause synergistic effects in treating insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus in a mammal. Further, this invention relates to methods for achieving a synergistic effects in treating insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus in a mammal, which methods comprise administering to said mammal, either stepwise or simultaneously, effective amounts of choline base or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and succinic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Further, this invention relates to a novel derivative of choline. More specifically, this invention relates to bis(2-hydroxy-N,N,N-trimethylethanaminium) succinate, the novel salt of choline formed by choline base and succinic acid in the molar ratio 2:1, a process for producing the salt, and use of the salt in medicine, preferably for the manufacture of a medicament for treating insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, dyslipidemia, or diabetes mellitus.</p> |
