Dietary restriction but not rapamycin extends disease onset and survival of the H46R/H48Q mouse model of ALS.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the effect of DR in ALS is not mediated through pathways common with Rapa, the deleterious effect ofDR and Rapa in the G93A ALS mouse model may not be universal to disease caused by all SOD1 mutations, and the results reinforce the previous conclusions that the pathogenic mechanisms in G 93A and H46R/H48Q mice are distinct.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic ablation of 12/15-lipoxygenase but not 5-lipoxygenase protects against denervation-induced muscle atrophy

TL;DR: A novel pathway for neurogenic muscle atrophy is revealed and it is suggested that 12/15-LO may be a potential therapeutic target in diseases associated with loss of innervation and Muscle atrophy.
