“…increased metabolic rate) seen in SOD1 G93A mice (Scaricamazza et al, 2020 ; Steyn et al, 2020 ). This is of clinical importance as hypermetabolism is associated with poor outcomes in mouse models of ALS and in human ALS (Doshi et al, 2017 ; Dupuis et al, 2004 ; Fayemendy et al, 2021 ; Jésus et al, 2018 ; Scaricamazza et al, 2020 ; Steyn et al, 2018 ). In 2020, we demonstrated that treatment of SOD1 G93A mice with the metabolic modulator ranolazine was able to improve locomotor function, decrease metabolic rate and partially rescue the dysfunction of muscle metabolism in SOD1 G93A mice (Scaricamazza et al, 2020 ).…”
