abstractText | Of the secondary messengers, cyclic quanosine monophosphate, but not cyclic adenosine monophosphate, was reduced by 80% in the cervical spinal cord and by 56% in the cerebellum of clinically affected homozygote wobbler mice compared to sex- and age-matched litter-mate clinically unaffected control mice. A neurotransmitter, gamma aminobutyric acid, and high-energy intermediates, adenosine triphosphate and phosphocreatine, were not significantly different in affected or unaffected mice. |
