NEURAL REGENERATION PEPTIDES AND ANTIOXIDANTS PROTECT NEURONS FROM DEGENERATION

摘要

Aspects of this invention include compositions for treating conditions in which neurons would otherwise degenerate or die as a result of an insult to the nervous system. Other aspects include methods for treating conditions in which neurons would otherwise degenerate or die as a result of an insult to the nervous system. Compositions include a neural regeneration peptide (NRP) and an antioxidant. The methods include administering to a subject in need thereof, a composition comprising a neural regeneration peptide and an antioxidant. Compositions including one or more NRPs and one or more antioxidants can also be used in vitro, to promote growth and differentiation of neural cell cultures. Kits include one or more NRPs, one or more antioxidants, solvents for preparing solutions, a mixing vial and instructions for use.
