ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method for improving respiratory function and inhibiting muscular degeneration (e.g., dystrophy and atrophy). Alternative embodiments of the invention provide a method of inhibiting motor neuron apoptosis and the subsequent muscular degeneration associated with the denervation of muscular tissue resulting from neuron death.
