The invention discloses a sublingual cigarette and a preparation method of the sublingual cigarette and belongs to the field of novel tobacco products. The sublingual cigarette comprises, by mass, 0.01%-6% of nicotine, 3%-15% of non-carbonhydrate sweet substances, 5%-35% of sodium alginate, 45%-80% of green bean starch, 3%-8% of calcium sulphate, 0.5%-3% of licorzince, 0.2%-0.8% of vitamin and 0%-0.6 of menthol (or peppermint oil). Compared with existing novel tobacco products, the sublingual cigarette has the advantages that rapid sublingual dissolution can be achieved, onset is fast and no residue exists; the sweetness of the sweet substances is high, the dosage is small, and the cost is saved; the physiological needs of a consumer can be met, and the functions of decayed tooth prevention and oral ulcer can be achieved; elevated blood glucose can not be caused, and the sublingual cigarette is applicable to long-term use of the diabetic population.

The present invention relates to methods of identifying whether one or more candidate compounds is a modulator of a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) or a modulator of blood glucose concentration. In certain embodiments, the GPCR is human. The present invention also relates to methods of using a modulator of the GPCR. A preferred modulator is agonist. Agonists of the invention are useful as therapeutic agents for lowering blood glucose concentration, for preventing or treating certain metabolic disorders, such as insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, and diabetes, and for preventing or treating a complication of an elevated blood glucose concentration, such as atherosclerosis, heart disease, stroke, hypertension and peripheral vascular disease.

The present invention relates to methods for treating or delaying the onset of pathologies associated with elevated blood glucose and/or elevated blood pressure. The methods are directed to modulating, regulating, or inhibiting the expression or activity of Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF) or fragments thereof.

The invention provides compositions comprising Eno1 and a muscle targeting peptide, e.g, as a fusion protein, for delivery of Eno1 to a muscle. The Eno1 may contain one or more added cysteine residues which are covalently attached to a biocompatible polymer (e.g. polyethylene glycol). Further, the invention provides a method for normalizing blood glucose in a subject with elevated blood glucose, comprising administering to the subject enolase 1 (Eno1), thereby normalizing blood glucose in the subject. The invention also provides methods of treating one or more conditions including impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, and diabetes, especially type 2 diabetes in a subject, comprising administering to the subject enolase 1 (Eno1), thereby treating the condition in the subject.

A method for a treatment selected from the group consisting of (a) reducing elevated blood glucose, (b) reducing complications of diseases that are associated with elevations of blood glucose, (c) prevention of diseases that develop as a result of elevated blood glucose, (d) controlling glucose metabolism in a mammal by means of an N-acylated hexosamine which is not effectively metabolized to glucose or glucosamine, (e) preventing the development of the metabolic syndrome, and (f) ameliorating the metabolic syndrome in a mammal that has developed the syndrome as a result of an other condition or conditions, such as ovarian failure or the post-menopausal state,

in a mammal, the method comprising administering to the mammal an effective amount of a N-acylated-2-glucosamine derivative of the general formula (I):

wherein R is an alkyl radical of the general formula C_nH_2n+1 wherein n is selected from 2-12; and pharmaceutically-acceptable salts, esters and glucosides thereof.

The invention relates to compositions comprising Pinus pinaster stem bark extract, papain, and Aloe vera extract, and methods of manufacturing same. There are also described methods of treating or preventing a variety of conditions, including treating or preventing elevated blood glucose, pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes, autoimmune diseases, reducing or decreasing inflammation, treating or preventing diseases characterised by elevated levels of inflammation, and lowering blood cholesterol, said methods comprising administering an effective amount of a composition according to the invention to a subject in need thereof. Uses of the composition of the invention for the manufacture of a medicament for treating or preventing a variety of conditions are also described.

Diabetes mellitus is a disease of elevated blood glucose, often directly related to a deficiency in insulin production or insulin receptor production. The innovative strategy of treatment described here utilizes modified viruses to act as a transport vehicle to deliver to target cells in the body, messenger RNA molecules. Delivering to the beta cells in the body the messenger RNA molecules needed to construct insulin or insulin receptors will lead to enhanced production of biologically active insulin or insulin receptors by beta cells as necessary, which will lead to correcting deficiencies in insulin or insulin receptors the result of which will help properly regulate blood glucose levels throughout the body utilizing innate regulatory mechanisms.

Agonists of the invention are useful as therapeutic agents for lowering blood glucose concentration, for preventing or treating certain metabolic disorders, such as insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, and diabetes, and for preventing or treating a complication of an elevated blood glucose concentration, such as atherosclerosis, heart disease, stroke, hypertension and peripheral vascular disease.

The invention relates to a preparation method of a preparation for treating diabetes. Diabetes is a chronic disease caused by a long-term effect of genetic factors and environmental factors. The main pathological basis of diabetes is absolute or relative insufficiency of insulin secretion in vivo and rise of blood glucose caused by reduction of cells on insulin sensitivity, and urine sugar appears to lead to fat, protein, mineral substance, water and acid-base unbalance in severity. Diabetes is an endocrine metabolic disease. The history of treating diabetes by traditional Chinese medicines is over thousand years, and the traditional Chinese medicines have outstanding contribution to treatment of diabetes. According to the preparation method provided by the invention, the effective substances for treating diabetes in traditional Chinese medicinal materials are prepared by applying a biotechnology at low temperature. As the effective substances are prepared at low temperature, the low molecular components which are easy to affect by temperature in the medicinal materials are not damaged and can be effectively extracted. The substances have outstanding contribution to treatment of diabetes. The low molecular substances can promote metabolism and immunity, so that the preparation is an innovative product of a traditional Chinese medicine preparation and has a positive effect for improving treatment of diabetes.
