Abstract excerpt
Previous results have shown a depletion of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) mRNA in the degenerating motoneurons from clinically afflicted Wobbler mice, whereas progesterone treatment reverts this depletion. We now compared progesterone regulation of BDNF in motoneurons and oligodendrocytes of Wobbler mice at the progressive (EP, 1-3 months), symptomatic (SYM, 5-8 months old), and late stages (LS, 12-13...
