Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to modulators, in particular inhibitors, of TSC22D4 activity or expression and their uses for the prevention, treatment, and/or regulation of insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and/or diabetes and/or for improving insulin sensitivity in mammal. The present invention further relates to screening methods in order to identify these modulators, the use of modulators as identified in the diagnosis of these diseases, as well as kits, comprising materials for performing the methods according to the present invention.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for treatment of insulin resistance and/or type 2 diabetes and/or for improving insulin sensitivity, wherein said method comprises administering to a subject in need of such treatment and/or improvement, a pharmaceutical composition comprising a modulator that is specific for TSC22D4 function and/or expression and wherein said modulator is an oligonucleotide; and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. 2. The method, according to claim 1 , wherein said pharmaceutical composition is administered orally, rectally, transmucosally, transdermally, intestinally, parenterally, intramuscularly, intrathecally, direct intraventricularly, intravenously, intraperitoneally, intranasally, intraocularly, or subcutaneously.
