Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Recently, iron and the adaptor protein "p66Shc" have been shown to play an important role in the development of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in rats. We hypothesized that changes in muscle p66Shc activity and iron metabolism would appear before visible symptoms of the disease occurred. METHODS: In the present study, we used transgenic rats bearing the G93A hmSOD1 gene mutation and their...
