$BIOA BioAge Labs announces it will present new preclinical data on APJ agonism
BioAge Labs announced that it will present new preclinical data supporting apelin receptor, APJ, agonism for the treatment of diabetic obesity and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. The data will be presented at the American Diabetes Association's 85th Scientific Sessions, held June 20-23, 2025, in Chicago, Illinois.
In their two presentations, the company will present data that demonstrated that in preclinical models of diabetic obesity and HFpEF, APJ agonist treatment had potential as monotherapy that could be enhanced in combination with incretin therapies. Enhanced glycemic control in diabetic obesity - Dr. Rubin's oral presentation will show that in mouse models of diabetic obesity, APJ agonist monotherapy reduced HbA1c to levels comparable to lean controls and improved glucose tolerance by 25%.
Cardioprotective effects in HFpEF - Dr. Yan's poster will show that in a mouse model of obesity-associated heart failure, APJ agonist monotherapy reduced cardiac hypertrophy and suppressed markers of cardiac injury. Combination of APJ agonism with an incretin provided enhanced cardioprotective benefits and greater weight loss compared to either treatment alone.
