Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides methods for treating or limiting development of multiple sclerosis by administering angiotensin peptides to a subject with multiple sclerosis or at risk of developing multiple sclerosis.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method for limiting demyelination and/or promoting remyelination, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an amount effective of a peptide comprising A(1-7), (Asp-Arg-Val-Tyr-Ile-His-Pro; (SEQ ID NO: 4), or salt thereof to limit demyelination and/or promote remyelination in the subject. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method is for limiting demyelination. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method is for promoting remyelination. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the peptide is administered in a polymer formulation. 5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the polymer formulation comprises a Poly-D,L-Lactic-Co-Glycolic Acid (PLGA) polymer, a poly-lactic acid (PLA), and co-polymers thereof, polycaprolactone particles, and chitosan nanoparticles. 6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the method is for limiting demyelination. 7. The method of claim 4 , wherein the method is for promoting remyelination. 8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the method is for limiting demyelination. 9. The method of claim 5 , wherein the method is for promoting remyelination.
