Although there was no overt difference between wasted mice without the transgene and those in which eEF1A2 expression had been restored in muscle with the HSA promoter, we wanted to determine whether known biomarkers of muscle atrophy, such as those that have been shown to be associated with denervation atrophy in other mouse models of MND, showed any changes. The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is mild neurocognitive disorder.
