Method and composition for treatment of insulin requiring mammals
First Claim
1. A method of treating a mammal having a need for, or a reduced ability to produce, insulin, comprising administering to said mammal an insulin having an in vitro activity of stimulating glucose incorporation into glycogen in rat soleus muscle, and an amylin having the in vitro activity of suppressing glucose incorporation into glycogen in rat soleus muscle, wherein said insulin and said amylin are administered in a molar ratio of between about 1:

Abstract
Method and compositions for treating a mammal by administering to that mammal an insulin (having the in vitro activity of stimulating glucose incorporation into glycogen in rat soleus muscle) and an amylin (having the in vitro activity of suppressing glucose incorporation into glycogen in rat soleus muscle) using specific molar ratios of an insulin to an amylin.

- 1. A method of treating a mammal having a need for, or a reduced ability to produce, insulin, comprising administering to said mammal an insulin having an in vitro activity of stimulating glucose incorporation into glycogen in rat soleus muscle, and an amylin having the in vitro activity of suppressing glucose incorporation into glycogen in rat soleus muscle, wherein said insulin and said amylin are administered in a molar ratio of between about 1:
- 22. A method of treating a mammal having a need for, or a reduced ability to produce, insulin, comprising administering to said mammal a composition comprising an insulin having an in vitro activity of stimulating glucose incorporation into glycogen in rat soleus muscle, and an amylin having the in vitro activity of suppressing glucose incorporation into glycogen in rat soleus muscle, wherein said insulin and said amylin are administered in a suitable molar ratio such that, upon administration of such composition to said mammal, the amount of said amylin said composition will result in plasma levels of amylin of about 3% to about 6% the plasma levels of insulin.

23. A method of treating a mammal having a need for, or a reduced ability to produce, insulin, comprising administering to said mammal a composition comprising an insulin having an in vitro activity of stimulating glucose incorporation into glycogen in rat soleus muscle, and an amylin having the in vitro activity of suppressing glucose incorporation into glycogen in rat soleus muscle, wherein said insulin and said amylin are administered in a suitable molar ratio such that, upon administration of such composition to said mammal, the amount of said amylin in said composition will result in plasma levels of amylin of about 4% to about 7% the plasma levels of insulin.
