Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recently, skeletal muscle atrophy, impairment of iron metabolism, and insulin signalling have been reported in rats suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, the interrelationship between these changes has not been studied. We hypothesize that an impaired Akt-FOXO3a signalling pathway triggers changes in the iron metabolism in the muscles of transgenic animals. METHODS: In the...
