The cause of selective degeneration of motor neurons in the ventral horn of the spinal cord associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has still not been elucidated. Recently, so-called oxidative stress has been suggested to be a significant factor in the pathogenesis of this disease. We me
## Abstract High molecular weight detergentโinsoluble complexes of superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) enzyme are a biochemical abnormality associated with mutant SOD1โlinked familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS). In the present study, SOD1 protein from spinal cords of transgenic FALS mice was fr
## Abstract The demonstration of a genetic linkage between the copperโzinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1) gene and familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis has aroused interest in the role of SOD1 in motoneuronal death. We investigated the expression of the human SOD1 gene at a cellular level in the mot
The eect of dexamethasone (a synthetic glucocorticoid) on the activity of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and glutathione peroxidase) of the lymphoid organs (mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN), spleen and thymus) was investigated. For comparison with non-immune tissues, skeletal
## Abstract Mutant superoxide dismutases type 1 (SOD1s) cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis by an unidentified toxic property. In a patient carrying the G127X truncation mutation, minute amounts of SOD1 were found in ventral horns using a mutantโspecific antibody. Still, both absolute levels and ra
