Neuron specific reduction in CuZnSOD is not sufficient to initiate a full sarcopenia phenotype

Neuron specific reduction in CuZnSOD is not sufficient to initiate a full sarcopenia phenotype

Our previous studies showed that adult (8 month) mice lacking CuZn-superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD, Sod1KO mice) have neuromuscular changes resulting in dramatic accelerated muscle atrophy and weakness that mimics age-related sarcopenia. We have further shown that loss of CuZnSOD targeted to skeletal...
