摘要

Disclosed is the use of a substance selected from the group consisting of human apo-lactoferrin and/or peptides derivable from human lactoferrin and/or natural metabolites of human lactoferrin and/or functionally equivalent analogues of human apo-lactoferrin for the production of a pharmaceutical composition for treatment and/or prevention of a vascular disease and/or states of tissue hypoperfusion with hypoxic and/or ischemic consequences. Also a method for treatment of a vascular disease and/or states of tissue hypoperfusion with hypoxic or ischemic consequences wherein a therapeutically effective amount of a substance selected from the group consisting of human apo-lactoferrin and peptides derivable from human lactoferrin and natural metabolites of human lactoferrin and functionally equivalent analogues of human apo-lactoferrin is administered to a patient in need of said treatment is disclosed.
