Claim: 11. A composition comprising one or more peptides of claim 1 , or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, an insulin or insulin analog, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
Claim: 12. The composition of claim 11 , wherein the insulin analog comprises insulin detemir, insulin glargine, insulin glulisine, insulin degludec, or insulin lispro.
Claim: 13. A method for treating a patient for a metabolic disease or disorder comprising administering to a patient in need thereof an effective amount of one or more of the peptides of claim 1 to treat the metabolic disease or disorder in the patient wherein, the metabolic disease or disorder comprises diabetes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), or obesity.
Claim: 14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the diabetes comprises Type I diabetes, Type II diabetes, or gestational diabetes.
Claim: 15. A method for treating a metabolic disease or disorder in a patient comprising administering to the patient in need thereof an effective amount of one or more of the peptides of claim 1 and administering to the patient in need thereof an effective amount of a composition comprising an insulin or insulin analog to treat the metabolic disease or disorder in the patient, wherein the metabolic disease or disorder comprises diabetes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), or obesity.
Claim: 16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the insulin analog comprises insulin detemir, insulin glargine, insulin levemir, insulin glulisine, insulin degludec, or insulin lispro.
Claim: 17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the diabetes comprises Type I diabetes, Type II diabetes, or gestational diabetes.
