Abstract
This study was undertaken to evaluate the role of excitatory amino aci d glutamate (Glu) in the pathophysiology of motor neuron disease (MND) . It was observed that blood Glu levels were significantly higher in M ND patients with respect to healthy controls. The data indicate that G lu homeostasis is altered in the patients with MND.
