ABSTRACT:
A process for the long-term modification and regulation of lipid metabolism--generally to reduce obesity, insulin resistance, and hyperinsulinemia (the three hallmarks of Type II diabetes)--by injections into the bloodstream of a vertebrate, animal or human, of prolactin, or both prolactin and a glucocorticosteroid. The injections are 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 (or increases) in body fat deposits result by treatment of an obese species (lean 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 (or obese members) of a similar species. Insulin resistance, and hyperinsulinemia 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.
