Abstract:   (1987 Views)
Although the issue has not yet been fully resolved, there is reason to believe that TRI-I may have a trophic effect on the normal motoneuron and may transien­ tly improve the neurologic deficit in ALS. Since ALS is not a simple TRI-I deficiency disease, this improvement probably occurs via a secondary mecha -nism-possibly another neurotransmitter. It is uncertain at this time whether this effect will be of any practical value in the treatment of the disease. The more important issue of whether repeated administration altersthe course of the disease is yet to be adequately addressed, but it appears that if there is any benefit it will be modest.
