Elevated “Hydroxyl Radical” Generation In Vivo in an Animal Model of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
1 Sept 1998
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the enzyme copper/zinc superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD1) are associated with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS). The means by which the mutations cause FALS appears to be due to an adverse property of the mutant SOD1 protein that may involve increased generation of free radicals. We used in vivo microdialysis to measure the conversion of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid to 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid...
