ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to method for preventing or treating cachexia in a mammal based on the administration of a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-cachexia agent. Suitable agents include ADP-ribose-polymerase inhibitors, ADP-ribose-transferase inhibitors, NADase inhibitors, nicotinamide benzamide, theophylline, thymine and analogs thereof.
