A process for the long term modification and regulation of lipid metabolism -- generally to reduce obesity, insulin resistance, and hyperinsulinemia or hyperglycemia, or both (these are the hallmarks of noninsulin dependent, or Type II diabetes) -- by administratlon (i.e., by feed or injection into the bloodstream) to a vertebrate, animal or human, of a dopamine agonist, e.g., bromocriptine. Administration of the bromocriptine is made over a limited period at a time of day dependent on the normal circadian rhythm of fat and lean members of a similar species. Decreases in body fat deposits result by treatment of an obese species on a daily timed sequence based on circadian rhythms of the peak prolactin, or peak prolactin and peak glucocorticosteroid, blood level established for lean members of a similar species. Insulin resistance, and hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia, or both, can also be controlled in humans on a long term basis by treatment corresponding to that of the treatment for obesity. The short term daily injections reset hormonal timing in the neural centers of the brain to produce long term effects.
一种长期改变和调节脂质代谢的方法--通常用于减少肥胖、胰岛素抵抗和高胰岛素血症或高血糖,或两者兼而有之(这些都是非胰岛素依赖型糖尿病或 II 型糖尿病的特征)--方法是通过给脊椎动物(动物或人)注射多巴胺激动剂,如溴隐亭(bromocriptine)(即通过喂食或注射到血液中)。溴隐亭的给药时间是有限制的,每天的给药时间取决于类似物种中肥瘦成员的正常昼夜节律。根据泌乳素峰值或泌乳素峰值和糖皮质激素峰值的昼夜节律,对肥胖物种进行每日定时治疗,可减少体内脂肪沉积。胰岛素抵抗、高胰岛素血症和高血糖或两者都有,也可以通过与肥胖症治疗方法相对应的治疗方法长期控制。每日短期注射可重置大脑神经中枢的荷尔蒙时间,从而产生长期效果。
