A liquid formulation of a long-acting conjugate of a peptide having activities for a glucagon receptor and a GLP-1 receptor, and a method for preparing the liquid formulation are disclosed. The liquid formulation contains 18 nmol/mL to 940 nmol/mL of the long-acting conjugate, a buffering agent in an amount for maintaining the pH of the liquid formulation in the range of 4.5 to 7.5, and 1% (w/v) to 20% (w/v) of saccharide, and 0.001% (w/v) to 0.2% (w/v) of a nonionic surfactant.

The invention provides methods of treating female health conditions related to sex hormones by providing compositions containing the steroid CV-10155.

The present disclosure provides binding agents that modulate the interaction between liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide 2 (LEAP2) and growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR). Specifically, the present disclosure provides binding agents, such as LEAP2 peptides that bind GHSR and methods of their use to treat or ameliorate a neuroendocrine and/or metabolic disease or disorder such as obesity, diabetes, acromegaly, gigantism and/or Prader-Willi syndrome. The present disclosure also provides binding agents, such as antibodies, that bind LEAP2, and methods of their use to, e.g., treat or ameliorate a neuroendocrine and/or metabolic disease or disorder such as cachexia, anorexia, or other wasting syndromes, increase growth hormone levels, or increase GHSR activity.

The present invention provides methods of treating obesity, pre-diabetes, diabetes, and/or obese breast cancer, by increasing mitochondrial metabolism by increasing the activity of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) in adipocytes. The disclosed methods comprise contacting an adrenergic receptor agonist with an adipocyte in which the genomic activity of estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) has been inhibited or inactivated. In certain aspects, inhibition or inactivation of the genomic activity of ERβ is achieved by contacting the adipocyte with an ERβ ligand that selectively inhibits or inactivates the ERβ genomic activity.
