MEANS AND METHODS FOR PREVENTING ELEVATED BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVELS IN HUMANS WITH ANIMAL ANTIBODIES PRODUCED IN MILK

摘要

The invention relates to the generation, production and use of binding bodies that are directed to enzymes that are normally present in the human intestine. Such binding bodies are preferably used for the treatment of and/or prevention of diabetes and other (related) diseases in numans, both healty people and persons at risk. The binding bodies are in general useful in the prevention of diseases related to postprandial high glucose peaks and swings in glucose levels, such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome and atherosclerosis. In a preferred embodiment the binding bodies are antibodies raised in mammals and collected from the mammary gland of said mammal. Binding bodies are preferably specific for a digestive enzyme of the human intestinal.
