Abstract excerpt
Oxidative stress has been proposed to play a pivotal role in pathogenesis of both sporadic and familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Expression of DNA repair enzyme redox factor-1 (Ref-1) protein was examined in the spinal cord of transgenic mice with an ALS-linked mutant Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) gene. Immunoblotting and immunocytochemical analyses showed that the most spinal motor neurons lost...
