Note:
Please do not refer to only one article to determine the experimental conditions. It is recommended to determine the optimal experimental conditions (animal strain, age, dosage, frequency and cycle, detection time and indicators, etc.) through preliminary experiments before the formal experiment.

β-N-methylamino-L-alanine hydrochloride can be used to induce amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) models[6].

1. Induction of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis[6]
Background
β-N-methylamino-L-alanine hydrochloride activates NMDA receptors and metabolite glutamate receptors (mGluR1/5) by mimicking glutamate, leading to intracellular calcium overload, inducing oxidative stress, damaging organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, and ultimately causing neuronal degeneration and excitatory necrosis.
Specific Modeling Methods
1. Rats: Male Wistar rats
Administration: 200-350 mg/kg • i.p. • once a day for 5 days
Note
(1) Should begin from weaning/21 days after birth to avoid interference during the critical period of newborn rats brain development
Modeling Indicators
Neurological Function Score: 0 points: The entire sole of the hind limbs touches the ground when walking. When the tail is suspended, the hind limbs are in a T-shape with coordinated kicking movements, and there is a resistant response to stimulation from the tail; 1-3 points: When the tail is suspended, it cannot make a T-shaped movement with its hind legs, resulting in uncoordinated kicking; 4 points: When walking, they do not place the entire sole of their hind feet on the ground; they walk on their toes; 5 points: When the tail is suspended, the hind legs will extend backward. When pulled from the tail, the hind legs will often separate from the body and gradually lose their resistance; 6 points: When turning, the hind legs remain under the body, the posture adjustment is slow, and there are uncoordinated kicks when the tail is suspended; 7 points: Begin to walk sideways, the resistance disappears, and their hind limbs separate from their body. 8 points: When walking, the hind legs slip; when the tail is suspended, the hind legs are brought together, and the hind legs are clearly separated from the body; 9 points: Loss of coordination while walking, with a noticeable tendency to walk sideways; 10 points: Complete loss of hind limb motor function, muscle spasms, and whole-body tremors. The scores increased significantly after modeling, manifested as hind limb coordination disorder, irregular kicking, decreased muscle strength, and in severe cases, loss of hind limb control (score ≥ 7 points).
Histological Analysis: The endoplasmic reticulum of lumbar spinal cord motor neurons is fragmented, ribosomes dissociate, and mitochondria swell, vacuolate, or even degenerate; oligodendrocytes exhibit apoptosis-characteristic nuclear morphology.
Molecular changes: Increased caspase-3 expression in the perinuclear region of motor neurons; elevated total protein and phosphorylated form (P-Ser9-GSK3β) of GSK3β in the lumbar spinal cord and motor cortex, and increased content of high molecular weight TDP-43 aggregates; decreased NAA content, and significantly reduced NAA/Cr, NAA/Cho, and NAA/(Cho+Cr) ratios.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
