Methods Of Normalizing Metabolic Parameters In Diabetics

US Patent:
5468727, Nov 21, 1995
Filed:
Feb 16, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/019159
Inventors:
William T. Phillips - San Antonio TX
Joyce G. Schwartz - San Antonio TX
Gary M. Green - San Antonio TX
Assignee:
Board of Regents, The University of Texas System
International Classification:
C07K 1400, A61K 3816
US Classification:
514 12
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of diagnosing and treating individuals with diabetes or at risk to develop diabetes mellitus. In particular, gastric emptying determinations are used to assess risk. Risk or early symptoms associated with subsequent development of diabetes mellitus may be controlled or alleviated by delaying gastric emptying. Delay or inhibition of gastric emptying is sufficient to restore gastric emptying within normal ranges as determined by restoration of typical glucose metabolic parameters such as blood glucose and insulin levels to normal or near normal ranges. The method is also useful in prophylactic treatment of individuals at high risk to develop diabetes mellitus, such as the obese, those with a family history of diabetes and those of particular ethnic and minority groups.

Methods And Compositions For The Measurement Of Glucose Tolerance

US Patent:
5122362, Jun 16, 1992
Filed:
Dec 4, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/445884
Inventors:
William T. Phillips - San Antonio TX
Joyce G. Schwartz - San Antonio TX
Assignee:
Board of Regents, The University of Texas System - Austin TX
International Classification:
G01N 3100
US Classification:
424 9
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods and compositions for measuring glucose tolerance in a subject. The methods are useful in a variety of contexts, such as in the diagnosis of diabetes in both human and animal subjects, in assessing gastric emptying times, and even in the diagnosis of insulin resistance. It is proposed that the methods of the present invention will prove to be of particular use in the mass screenings of population, e. g. , in screening for type II diabetes mellitus, due to its simplicity and reproducibility. The method is even adaptable to simple finger stick analysis. The invention method includes the use of a potable beverage containing a low total loading dose of glucose in a low osmolar solution. The oral glucose solutions of the present invention empty rapidly from the stomach, thereby eliminating the nausea and vomiting typically associated with oral glucose tolerance tests. The oral glucose solutions of the present invention provide a provide excellent reproducibility of results and a distinct separation between nondiabetic and diabetic subjects, thereby enabling clinicians to better diagnose diabetes in a subject.
