Abstract:
Provided herein are methods and compositions for modulating the activity or level of a sirtuin, thereby treating or preventing obesity or an insulin resistance disorder, such as diabetes in a subject. Exemplary methods comprise contacting a cell with a sirtuin activating compound or an inhibitory compound to thereby increase or decrease fat accumulation, respectively.

Abstract:
A method of treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) comprises the step of administering fispemifene to a subject in need thereof in an amount effective to raise the subject's testosterone level. Fispemifene may be used in combination with a PDE-5 inhibitor in individuals who have failed to respond sufficiently to conventional ED treatment. Methods are also disclosed of treating ED by administering clomifene, enclomifene, ospemifene, toremifene and mixtures thereof in combination with a PDE-5 inhibitor.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to sulfones that are useful in the treatment of chemokine-mediated disorders. In certain embodiments, the present invention concerns the compounds that are MCP-1 receptor antagonists.
