This invention relates to a method for reducing a condition associated with
fetal alcohol syndrome in a subject who is exposed to alcohol in utero with an
ADNF polypeptide. In particular, the present invention relates to a method of reducing
a condition associated with fetal alcohol syndrome in a subject who is exposed
to alcohol in utero with a combination of ADNF I and ADNF III polypeptides. The
present invention further relates to a method for reducing neuronal cell death
by contacting neuronal cells with a combination of ADNF I and ADNF III polypeptides.
Still further, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising
a combination of ADNF I and ADNF III polypeptides.
