SOD1-G93A Mice Exhibit Muscle-Fiber-Type-Specific Decreases in Glucose Uptake in the Absence of Whole-Body Changes in Metabolism.

Conclusions: These results suggest that alterations in muscle metabolism occur in a fiber-type-specific manner in ALS, but do not necessarily lead to whole-body metabolic changes in SOD1-G93A mice. © 2013 S. Karger AG, Basel. PMID: 24021858 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
