Abstract excerpt
In our study we investigated the pathology-related expression patterns of the two calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) isoforms in spinal cord motor neurons of SOD1(G93A) mice, an animal model of the human motor neuron disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We found that alphaCGRP and betaCGRP gene expression and alphaCGRP immunoreactivity remained unaltered throughout disease, and alphaCGRP gene...
