AMYLIN ACTIVITY ASSAYS

摘要

Novel methods for use in identifying or assaying compounds which can simulate the ability of amylin to cause hyperlactemia and hyperglycemia in in vivo biological models, or for use in evaluating the potency of compounds known or suspected to simulate these actions of amylin, which involve introducing test samples into in vivo test systems and determining the presence or amount of a rise in lactate, or determining the presence or amount of a rise in lactate and a rise in glucose, following test sample administration.
