Abstract

See full text

CRF receptor agonists, especially CRF receptor-1 agonists such as CRF, urocortin, sauvagine or urotensin 1, can be used for the prevention or inhibition of neuronal cell death in a mammal suffering from or susceptible to chronic neurodegenerative disease (e.g. Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease or Huntington's disease), traumatic (mechanical) neuronal injury, epilepsy-associated neuronal loss, paralysis, or spinal chord injury. CRF receptor-1 agonists can also be administered to aid the prevention or inhibition of neuronal cell death in a mammal suffering from or suceptible to cerebral ischaemia (stroke). Also, where neuronal cell death is potentiated by inhibition or suppression of the PI 3-kinase signalling pathway, a treatment comprises administering to the mammal an effective amount of a CRF receptor agonist.
