Blood glutamate levels in patients with motor neuron disease.

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