Abnormal distribution of lead in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: Reestimation of lead in the cerebrospinal fluid

The lead concentration in CSF was determined by flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry in 16 ALS patients and 22 control cases. The mean values were 0.69 ± 0.55 (ALS) and 0.41 ± 0.37 (controls), P < 0.01. This confirms our earlier findings of raised CSF lead levels in ALS but the present v...

Zusammenfassung:The lead concentration in CSF was determined by flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry in 16 ALS patients and 22 control cases. The mean values were 0.69 ± 0.55 (ALS) and 0.41 ± 0.37 (controls), P < 0.01. This confirms our earlier findings of raised CSF lead levels in ALS but the present values are lower than previously reported for both ALS patients and controls.
