Abstract excerpt
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) involves the progressive degeneration of motor neurons in the spinal cord and motor cortex. Mutations to Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) linked with familial ALS are reported to increase hydroxyl radical adduct formation from hydrogen peroxide as measured by spin trapping with 5, 5'-dimethyl-1-pyrrolline N-oxide (DMPO). In the present study, we have used oxygen-17-enriched...
