Abstract excerpt
Recent data indicate that overexpression of the enzyme Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) in mice confers neuroprotection against various dopamine neurotoxins like 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), methamphetamine, 6-hydroxydopamine and methylenedioxymethamphetamine. In the present study we investigated whether a mutant form of SOD1 (G93A), occurring in humans affected by amyotrophic lateral...
