Abstract excerpt
Several hypotheses have been proposed for the mechanisms underlying mutant Cu,Zn Superoxide Dismutase-related Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. These include aggregation pathology, mitochondrial dysfunctions, oxidative stress, and glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity. Mitochondrial disease may be a primary event in neurodegeneration, contributing to oxidative stress and apoptosis, or it may be caused by other cellular...
