摘要: Background Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by selective degeneration of motor neurons. The gene encoding Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) responsible for 20% familial ALS cases. Growth hormone (GH) concentrations are low in the cerebrospinal fluid patients with ALS; however, its association motoneuronal death not known. We tested neuroprotective effects GH on human SOD-1-expressing cultured neurons and SOD1G93A transgenic mice.
