BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention (Technical Field)
The present invention relates to cyclic hexapeptides that are highly-specific antagonists for the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4-R), and which may be used in the treatment of a variety of body weight disorders including cachexia,
FIELD OF INVENTION
This invention relates to newly identified polynucleotides, polypeptides encoded by them and to the use of such polynucleotides and polypeptides, and to their production. More particularly, the polynucleotides and polypeptides of the present invention relate to CSBP/p38 MAP
1. INTRODUCTION
This invention concerns new methods and compositions that are useful in treating inflammatory conditions, e.g., preventing and ameliorating cachexia, the clinical syndrome of poor nutritional status and bodily wasting associated with cancer and other chronic diseases. More
