METHODS TO PROTECT SKELETAL MUSCLE AGAINST INJURY

摘要

Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for the treatment of skeletal muscle and/or the protection of skeletal muscle against injury. The adenosine A3 receptor has been identified as a new therapeutic target for the treatment of skeletal muscle. Adenosine A3 receptor agonists are used treat subjects with skeletal muscle ischemia and reperfusion (VR.) injuries, individuals with skeletal muscle disorders, and individuals suffering from skeletal muscle injury resulting from physical exertion.
