mortality/aging
• shortened lifespan (137 1.7 vs. 142 1.4 days)
|
cellular
• reduced glutamate transport in lumbar spinal cord at 120 days of age, compare with Tg(SOD1*G93A)1Gur mice
|
nervous system
• increase in the rate of motor decline accompanied by earlier motor neuron loss
• accelerated motor neuron loss at 120 days of age, compare with Tg(SOD1*G93A)1Gur mice
• significant declines occur between 105 and 120 days (42% reduction) and between 120 days and end stage, compared with between 120 days and endstage (56%) in Tg(SOD1*G93A)1Gur mice
