Oxidative stress in the olfactory system is a major factor associated with age-related olfactory impairment, although the mechanisms by which this occurs are not completely understood. The Harlequin mutant mouse (Hq/Y), which carries an X-linked recessive mutation in the Aifm1 gene, is a model of progressive oxidative stress-induced neurodegeneration in the cerebellum and retina. To determine whether the Hq/Y mutant mouse is a suitable model of oxidative stress-associated olfactory aging, we inv ...[more]
