Description
Biochem/physiol Actions Inosine is a potent stimulator of nerve growth factor （NGF） induced neurite outgrowth. The elevated levels of inosine in brain following injury are associated with the increased expression proteins related to axonal regeneration and growth. Mice given inosine demonstrated enhanced recovery of fine motor control following ischemic brain damage.
