  • Use of $g(b)-adrenoceptor agonists for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases
    Publication number: 20040248984
    Abstract: The use of &bgr;-adrenoceptor agonists for restoring and/or maintaining the function of partially or completely damaged/degenerated cells in the central nervous system and/or other nerve cells is claimed. The use of &bgr;2-adrenoceptor agonists leads to activation of astrocytes and initiation of endogenous processes of neuroprotection, it thus being possible for the damage or destruction of nerve cells to be reduced and, in some cases, even prevented.
