Title: New Pharmaceutical Targets to Treat Type II Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension Invention: The invention is the development of drug targets to treat diabetes and hypertension by understanding the role of the liver in the regulation of insulin and blood pressure. Background: Lipid accumulation in the liver is linked to diabetes and obesity induced hypertension, with obesity being thought to depolarize liver cells. This provides an opportunity for a targeted treatment to reduce obesity related complications like diabetes and hypertension. Applications:Novel drug target for type II diabetesNovel drug target for hypertensionPharmaceutical industry Advantages:Identifies multiple pathways and drug targets for greater success in finding a potential therapeutic agentIncreases insulin sensitivity Licensing Manager:Tod McCauley(520) 626-7916
