METHODS OF TREATING NEURODEGENERATIVE CONDITIONS

摘要

Methods of preventing neural tissue damage caused by excitotoxicity due to increased release of exitatory amino acids by increasing extracellular concentrations of adenosine in and around the neural tissue are provided. These methods are especially useful in treating neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or Huntington's Disease.
