To investigate how lipids are affected in ALS, we performed a global lipidome analysis of motor cortex and spinal cord from asymptomatic (SOD1-G93A 70 days) and symptomatic (SOD1-G93A 120 days) ALS rats, and their respective age-matched wild type (WT 70 days and WT 120 days) as control groups. This evidence concerns the gene SOD1 and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
