In alternative embodiments, the invention provides methods for treating, ameliorating or protecting (preventing) an individual or a patient against a disease, an infection or a condition responsive to an increased paracrine polypeptide level in vivo comprising: providing a paracrine polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid or gene operatively linked to a transcriptional regulatory sequence; or an expression vehicle, a vector, a recombinant virus, or equivalent, having contained therein a paracrine-encoding nucleic acid or gene, and the expression vehicle, vector, recombinant virus, or equivalent can express the paracrine-encoding nucleic acid or gene in a cell or in vivo; and administering or delivering the paracrine polypeptide-encoding nucleic acid or gene operatively linked to a transcriptional regulatory sequence, or the expression vehicle, vector, recombinant virus, or equivalent, to an individual or a patient in need thereof, thereby treating, ameliorating or protecting (preventing) the individual or patient against the disease, infection or condition responsive to an increased paracrine polypeptide level.

The present invention is related to the use of the growth hormone releasing peptide-6 (GHRP-6) for the manufacture of a late cardioprotective and cardiac restoration medicament. Said late cardioprotective and cardiac restoration medicament comprises GHRP-6 and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or vehicle. It also provides a method for the treatment of a disease that involves a low cardiac output, wherein a therapeutically effective amount of a late cardioprotective and cardiac restoration medicament comprising GHRP-6 is administered to a subject in need. Said medicament allows treating in a late manner, even days later, the myocardium that suffered episodes of stunning, hibernation, ischemia and its consequences thereof.

A pharmaceutical composition comprising a GHRH molecule or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is described, as well as uses thereof and a kit for preparing such a pharmaceutical composition. In an embodiment, GHRH molecule or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is trans-3-hexenoyl-GHRH.sub.(1-44)-NH.sub.2 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In an embodiment, a pharmaceutical composition comprising about 1.3 to about 1.5 mg of a GHRH molecule such as trans-3-hexenoyl-GHRH.sub.(1-44)-NH.sub.2 at a concentration of about 3.5 mg/mL or more, as well as uses thereof and a kit for preparing such a pharmaceutical composition, are described. Uses of such a pharmaceutical composition to obtain plasmatic levels of e.g., trans-3-hexenoyl-GHRH.sub.1-44)-NH.sub.2 that are bioequivalent to administration of 2 mg of trans-3-hexenoyl-GHRH.sub.(1-44)-NH.sub.2 at a concentration of 1 mg/mL in a subject are also described.

Disclosed are methods for mitigating one or more debilitating symptoms of a mTBI for a patient diagnosed with sustained mTBI. These methods comprise administering an effective amount of ghrelin or a variant thereof over multiple consecutive days after the diagnosis of a sustained mTBI.

Disclosed is a producing method of a mesenchymal stem cell for brain neuronal disease prevention or treatment including ghrelin treatment, a composition for producing a mesenchymal stem cell for brain neuronal disease prevention or treatment, a mesenchymal stem cell produced by the producing method, and a pharmaceutical composition for prevention or treatment of brain neuronal disease containing the same. When using the producing method of the mesenchymal stem cells with the increased AgRP (Agouti related peptide) expression level according to the present disclosure, the mesenchymal stem cells produced by the method, or ghrelin, various brain neuronal diseases such as Alzheimer's disease may be effectively prevented or treated. When the composition for producing the mesenchymal stem cells with the increased AgRP expression level containing ghrelin according to the present disclosure is used, the mesenchymal stem cells with the increased AgRP expression level may be effectively produced.
