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
The frequency of a recently described point mutation of the ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) gene was investigated in a population of 154 German patients with motor neuron disease (MND). Twenty-two percent of the patients were heterozygous, 2% homozygous for the CNTF mutation. Since the gene defec
