We investigated the histological effects of ciliary neurotrophic factor on degenerating motor neurons, their axons, and skeletal muscles in 68 wobbler mice with motor neuron disease. Treatment consisted of recombinant rat or human ciliary neurotrophic factor (or a vehicle solution), 1-mg/kg subcutan

A possible protective effect of a novel free radical scavenger, OPC-14117, on the progressive motor neuron death in wobbler mice was examined. Clinical parameters such as mortality, body weight, motor activity as a rolling number of circular cage, and forelimb muscle power as grasping on a rolling c
I n a patient with motor neuron disease and benign IgMk monoclonal gammopathy, the M protein reacted with the glycolipids GM1, GDlb, and asialo GM1 and, by immunoblot, with some high-molecular-weight neural-specific glycoproteins. T h e main reactive bands had an approximate molecular weight of 250
## Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a common form of motor neuron disease (MND) that involves both upper and lower nervous systems. In the SOD1^G93A G1H^ transgenic mouse, a widely used animal model of human ALS, a significant pathology is linked to the degeneration of lower motor ne
