Andy, The arthritis teaser was in error. "Arthritis" should be replaced with "Athrosclerosis". I was recall an AOL post which I had seen earlier today. When I went back this evening, I saw that the poster had mentioned non-diabetic applications such as athroscleosis (which was mis-spelled and I had earlier read it as arthritis) (which was discussed at a recent Helsinki meeting). For athrosclerosis applications, LGND shareholders need go no further than LGND's 1995 Annual report which briefly describes LGND's athrosclerosis alliance with GLX (and targeting of small hormone analogues that interact with PPARs).
Of course LGND has its own TZD and PPAR programs (in addition to the GLX alliance) and TZDs (and probably Rexinoids) will have additional applications for that indication (and probably others).
