USE OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS TO REBALANCE ISCHEMIA BIOENERGETICS

摘要

Compositions and methods are provided for photosynthetic correction of metabolic imbalances that occur in ischemic consitions. In the methods of the invention, an ischemic or potentially ischemic tissue is contacted with an effective dose of a photosynthetic system in the presence of a light source, where the dose or concentration is sufficient to increase oxygenation and simple sugar supply of the targeted tissue or organ.
