Abstract excerpt
To explore whether reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a role in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a unique microdialysis or microcannula sampling technique was used in mice transfected with a mutant Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) gene from humans with familial ALS, mice transfected with the normal human SOD1 gene, and normal mice. We demonstrate for the first time that the levels of...
