Abstract

Preparations to be administered for treating or preventing ischemic diseases or arterial diseases which contain Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) as an active ingredient. The preparations provide such effect that HGF concentration in an affected region to which HGF was administered is maintained, a half-life is longer, a dose can be reduced, and other organs except the affected region are less affected in comparison with intravenous administration.
