Abstract

We elected to study thyroid status in ALS. The diagnosis of ALS was established on the basis of history, clinical and laboratory examination, electrophysiological study, and muscle biopsy. The thyroid function tests were carried out in 32 of these patients (20 men and 12 women aged 26-64 years, with a mean of 52.7)
