Abstract

A peptide composition is provi'deo! which specifically inhibits the ability of δ protein kinase C (δPKC) to phosphor/late pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) under ischemic conditions. The peptide composition is useful for treating or reducing tissue damage resulting from ischemia and/or reperfusion.
