Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1) gene can result in the development of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The exact cellular mechanisms causing ALS are not known, but oxidative stress is thought to play a prominent role. Lysyl oxidase (LOX) is one of the genes that are known to be up-regulated in ALS patients. In this study, we examined LOX localization in wild type rat and mouse brain...
