A36 Gradual accumulation of oxidative stress and its aspects in primary porcine fibroblasts expressing mutated huntingtin

Background

Huntington´s disease (HD) is devastating neurodegenerative disorder caused by the mutation in huntingtin gene. One of the largest contributors to HD pathology represents oxidative stress, though the exact mechanism of its cause remains unclear. Molecular characterization of a unique porcine model of HD could serve for better understanding of the disease pathogenesis as well as for better evaluation of the therapeutic...
