NITRIC OXIDE AMINO ACID ESTERS FOR ENHANCEMENT OF PHYSICAL OR MUSCULAR PERFORMANCE AND THE TREATMENT OF MUSCULAR OR NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASES

摘要

Use of nitric oxide amino acid esters to treat muscular or neuromuscular diseases, increase muscle growth and/or muscle strength, or to stimulate vasodilation prior to physical training. Preferred muscular or neuromuscular diseases are muscular dystrophy and muscular atrophy. Preferably the nitric oxide acid esters are administered in a transdermal composition further comprising a penetration enhancer and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
