METHOD OF TREATING ACUTE ST-ELEVATION MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION WITH A DELTA PKC ANTAGONIST

摘要

Compositions, kits and methods are provided for preventing or treating tissue injury caused by stresses or shocks related to oxygen deficiency, such as ischemia, anoxia, hypoxia, reperfusion and other environmental stresses. In particular, protein kinase C (PKC) isozyme-specific agonists and antagonists are provided for treating cardiac tissue damage due to ischemia-reperfusion, such as acute myocardial infarction.
