The dysregulation of inflammatory pathways triggered by copper exposure
This upward trend is largely driven by the aging population and the increasing incidence of risk factors like diabetes and hypertension (Rovin et al., 2024
They demonstrated that pretreatment of cultured SOD1 G93A astrocytes with MitoQ was able to reduce the formation of superoxide and peroxynitrite radicals, protect motor neurons against oxidative damage and improve the ability of mitochondria to generate ATP (Cassina et al., G93A mouse model, treatment with MitoQ at the onset of disease also delayed the decline of mitochondrial function in the spinal cord, protected against motor neuron loss and astrogliosis in the spinal cord
This process is especially important for individuals exposed to environmental toxins, alcohol, or medications
