Abstract Rationale Hypermetabolism (HM) in Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the
reflection of a high energy metabolic level, but this alteration seems controversial. The main …

BACKGROUND: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease.
During the course of the illness, malnutrition can occur and may shorten survival. The aim of …
