Objective: To ascertain the specificity of alternatively spliced mRNA variants of the astroglial glutamate transporter EAAT2 for ALS.
Background: An important hypothesis for ALS pathogenesis is that motor neuron injury may result from chronically elevated glutamate levels in the CNS. Supporting this idea are reports of decreased glutamate transport in ALS.

Safrole, estragole, anethole, and eugenol and some of their known or possible metabolites were tested for mutagenic activity for S. typhimurium TA1535, TA100, and TA98. Highly purified 1'-hydroxyestragole and 1'-hydroxysafrole were mutagenic (approximately 15 and 10 revertants/micromole, respectively) for strain TA100 in the absence of fortified liver microsomes; trans-anethole and estragole appeared to have very weak activity.
