COMING
SOON! Amylin
Getting Close to Approval.
Amylin
is hiring many new sales reps. which could mean that they expect approval
shortly.
Amylin,
also known as islet amyloid polypeptide, identified in 1987, is a naturally
occurring hormone, released by the beta cells of the pancreas and consists
of 37 amino acids. Amylin seems to decrease food intake through both central
and peripheral mechanisms and indirectly by slowing gastric emptying. Amylin
administration may overcome resistance at target tissues, delay gastric
emptying, and have potential for inducing weight loss in obese individuals.
