Abstract excerpt
Oxidative stress plays a key role in the neuronal loss exhibited in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), an event precipitating irreversible muscle atrophy. By crossing ALS mouse models (SOD(G93A) and SOD(H46RH48Q)) with an antioxidant response element (ARE) reporter mouse, we identified activation characteristics of the ARE system throughout the timecourse of motor neuron disease. Surprisingly, the earliest and...
