title: [Reduction in glucose concentration in the brain of mice inoculated with cerebrospinal fluid from patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis].
abstract: Using chromatographic analysis the authors studied glucose concentration in the brain of Swiss mice inoculated with CSF of four patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. They found reduction in the levels of glucose, suggesting the existence of an exogenous factor transferred by CSF.
