Described herein are improvements relating to IGF-1 function analysis, adjustment and its application in disease management of non-neurological and/or neurological conditions. More specifically, methods relating to the clinical application of cyclic glycine-proline (cGP) and/or cGP/IGF-1 molar ratio as the plasma biomarker for prediction of risk and recovery of non-neurological and/or neurological conditions with IGF-1 dysfunction and the use of a cGP containing animal, marine or fungal based material such as concentrate/extract of hydrolysed bovine collagen and marine collagen, mushroom and seaweed along with plant-based cGPMAX™ for the treatment of same. The methods more accurately measure IGF-1 function in vivo indirectly using cGP and cGP/IGF-1 molar ratio along with a means to adjust and normalise cGP and cGP/IGF-1 molar ratio (and hence active IGF-1 concentration), and specific treatment methods for individuals with a lower or reduction of cGP level relative to a standard set of baseline data. Supplementation of bovine collagen formulated cGPMAXTM effectively improved the sensory function in patients with diabetic neuropathy.

Resumen de: US2024285727A1
Described herein is a novel, mitochondrial encoded, open reading frame that leads to the production of a new mitochondrial peptide called SHMOOSE. SHMOOSE is a 58-amino-acid peptide and, within its open reading frame, contains a genome-wide significant small nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that markedly increased risk for Alzheimer's disease, brain structure, brain gene expression, and cognition. SHMOOSE increased neuronal-type cell survival and protected against amyloid beta toxicity. Metabolomic studies revealed a role for the peptide in energy optimization, whose dysfunction and dysregulation leads to cell death in physiologically notable regions of the brain in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Methods and compositions, including peptide analogues and derivatives, are described for treatment and diagnostics.

Provided is a method for evaluating dementia risk, the method allows direct understanding of the physical state of a subject through an analysis of a biological sample of the subject, and objective and highly accurate evaluation of the risk of the subject who might be developing dementia (mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer's disease (AD)). Concentration data regarding an element group for evaluation in a blood (plasma or serum) sample 2 taken from a subject are acquired (step S1), the concentration data are applied to a discriminant function that determines whether the subject belongs to a control group or a case group, and a correlation between concentrations of the group of elements for evaluation is calculated (step S2), and on the basis of the correlation, an indicator as to whether the subject is suffering from dementia is obtained (step S3). As the group of elements for evaluation, a combination of the 17 elements Na, Mg, P, S, K, Ca, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Rb, Sr, Mo, Ag, and Cs is used. It is preferable that an estimation that the type of dementia that the subject is suffering from is MCI or AD is included in evaluation results.
