Abstract excerpt
MRI has been used to measure hindlimb muscle volume in female and male transgenic mice overexpressing the Gly93Ala (G93A) mutant human superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), a widely used model of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS), over the first 4 months of life. Significant decreases in the hindlimb muscle volume of the female G93A SOD1 mice were evident from 11 weeks of age, before other overt pathology...
