The present invention concerns combination of an amount of a GPR119 agonist with an amount of a dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitor such that the combination provides an effect in lowering a blood glucose level or in increasing a blood GLP-1 level in a subject over that provided by the amount of the GPR119 agonist or the amount of the DPP-IV inhibitor alone and the use of such a combination for treating or preventing diabetes and conditions related thereto or conditions ameliorated by increasing a blood GLP-1 level. The present invention also relates to the use of a G protein-coupled receptor to screen for GLP-1 secretagogues.
本发明涉及一定量的 GPR119 激动剂与一定量的二肽基肽酶 IV (
DPP-IV)
抑制剂的组合,从而使该组合在降低受试者血糖
水平或提高其血液 GLP-1
水平方面的效果优于单独使用一定量的 GPR119 激动剂或一定量的
DPP-IV
抑制剂所产生的效果,以及使用这种组合治疗或预防糖尿病及其相关病症或通过提高血液 GLP-1
水平而改善的病症。本发明还涉及使用 G 蛋白偶联受体筛选 GLP-1 促泌剂。
