Abstract excerpt
The effects of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) on cerebellar dysfunction and neurodegeneration were investigated in leaner mice, which exhibit cerebellar ataxia and neurodegeneration related to P/Q-type calcium channel mutations. Leaner mice showed significantly reduced serum and cerebellar IGF-I concentrations compared to wild-type mice at postnatal day 30. Behavioral assessment of leaner mice injected with...
