Abstract
The lead content of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was found to be significantly elevated in 12 patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, when compared to 28 control subjects having non-degenerative neurological disorders. The difference could not be explained as being merely secondary to blood-CSF barrier damage. A hypothetical model of the pathogenesis of the disease is advanced and the results are discussed in relation to this model.Entities:
