[origin: WO2005013949A2] The present invention relates to a method of treatment of cachexia in a subject in need of treatment. More specifically, the present invention relates to the use of retinoid compounds that act on retinoid X receptors (RXRs) for the treatment of cachexia in a subject in need of treatment. The cachexia is associated with, in other words a complication of, a primary disease, condition or disorder. Primary diseases, conditions and disorders include, but are not limited to, cancer, AIDS, liver cirrhosis, diabetes mellitus, chronic renal failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic cardiac failure, immune system diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus), tuberculosis, cystic fibrosis, gastrointestinal disorders (e.g., irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease), Parkinson's disease, anorexia nervosa, dementia, major depression, an aged condition and sarcopenia.
