Abstract excerpt
The Wobbler mouse is a model of human motor neuron disease. Recently we reported the impairment of mitochondrial complex IV in Wobbler mouse CNS, including motor cortex and spinal cord. The present study was designed to test the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on (1) mitochondrial functions in young Wobbler mice, and (2) the onset and progression of the disease with aging. HBOT was carried out at 2...
