mortality/aging
• prolonged survival (141.98.9 vs. 131.13.7 days), compare with Tg(SOD1*G93A)1Gur mice
• female mice survive longer than the male (145.48.2 vs. 137.67.9 days)
|
nervous system
• 5 days after sciatic nerve transection, mice show delayed Wallerian degeneration, while Tg(SOD1*G93A)1Gur mice show a loss of axons and presence of myelin ovoids and phagocytes
|
• delayed denervation at the neuromuscular junction
• more axons and innervated neuromuscular junctions in nerve roots than Tg(SOD1*G93A)1Gur mutants at day 80
|
• similar levels of ventral root axon loss to that seen in Tg(SOD1*G93A)1Gur mice
|
• similar levels of dorsal root axon loss to that seen in Tg(SOD1*G93A)1Gur mice
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• 5 days after sciatic nerve transection, mice show delayed Wallerian degeneration, while Tg(SOD1*G93A)1Gur mice show a loss of axons and presence of myelin ovoids and phagocytes
