Effect of hexarelin on the modulation of apoptosis pathway induced by hydrogen peroxide

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal motor neuron disease characterized by degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons.
The underlying causes of the onset of ALS are not yet completely clarified but on one side, oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage and protein aggregation are considered as causative of the disease.
Reportedly, an increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leads to the dysregulation of mitochondrial dynamics and activates apoptosis mechanisms.
