Abstract
The present invention provides compositions and methods for treatment of metabolic syndromes. Namely, the presently disclosed compositions and methods are provided for affecting the function of the gastrointestinal endocrine system in key regions of the gut, thereby, producing therapeutic effects on obesity, diabetes and other metabolic disorders. The compositions include components for forming luminal barriers within the gastrointestinal tract of a subject where the barrier is created in-situ via interaction of resident mucin with the mucin-interacting agent.
