Abstract excerpt
The release of [(3)H]D-aspartate ([(3)H]D-ASP) or [(3)H]GABA evoked by glycine from spinal cord synaptosomes was compared in mice expressing mutant human SOD1 with a Gly(93) Ala substitution ([SOD1-G93A(+)]), a transgenic model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and in control mice. Mice expressing mutated SOD1 were killed at the advanced phase of the pathology, when they showed signs of ingestion disability,...
