Abstract excerpt
It has been hypothesized that copper-mediated oxidative stress contributes to the pathogenesis of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a fatal motor neuron disease in humans. To verify this hypothesis, we examined the copper and zinc concentrations and the amounts of lipid peroxides, tog...
