ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method for treatment of obesity, metabolic syndrome and/or non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus by administering a drug capable of modulating the regulation of UCP-2, the use of a drug capable of modulating the regulation of UCP-2 for the production of drug for treatment of obesity, metabolic syndrome and/or non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus and pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically effective amount of such a drug. The invention is also related to methods for screening for potential drugs against obesity, metabolic syndrome and/or non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus and the use of cDNA probe for determination of upregulation of UCP-2 for potential drugs against obesity, metabolic syndrome and/or non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.
