13. A method of screening a compound for an indication of an activity useful for treating impaired insulin sensitivity, glucose intolerance or obesity;
- comprising
exposing cells to the compound and insulin; determining phosphorylation status of Akt1 and Erk, e.g. phospho-Akt1 and phospho-Erk; wherein an increased ratio of levels of phospho-Akt-1 over phospho-Erk relative to a control ratio provides an indication the compound has activity useful for treating impaired insulin sensitivity or obesity. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
