Abstract excerpt
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neuromuscular disorder in which motor neurons may be targeted by oxidative and nitrergic stress without sufficient compensation by intrinsic support mechanisms. In this work, we addressed two key tenets of this hypothesis for the pathogenesis of ALS. Using superoxide dismutase (SOD) 1G93A mice, we studied the impact of reduction of nitrergic stress within the CNS...
