We have shown that linear estimates of rates of disease progression (LEP), derived from isometric myometry [grip or foot dorsiflexion (FD) strength] and forced vital capacity (FVC%), are clinically and statistically significant predictors of survival of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (A

## Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive and simultaneous degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons. The pathological process associated to ALS, albeit more pronounced in the motor/premotor cortices and along the corticospin
Mutations in the gene for low density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) lead to a disorder called familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Affected individuals are characterized by increased levels of cholesterol in plasma, tendinous xanthomas, arcus lipoides corneae, and premature coronary heart disease. Up
The cause of selective degeneration of motor neurons in the ventral horn of the spinal cord associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has still not been elucidated. Recently, so-called oxidative stress has been suggested to be a significant factor in the pathogenesis of this disease. We me
## Abstract Branchedβchain amino acids (BCAAs), valine, isoleucine, and leucine, are widely used among athletes as dietary integrators. Although the occurrence of untoward effects of BCCA supplementation, with particular regard to neurological disturbances, cannot be excluded, no specific studies h
