    Abstract

    Twenty nine patients with motor neuron disease receiving a thyrotropin releasing hormone analogue showed acute 25-30% increase in mean corrected fibre density and mean macro EMG median amplitude and area in brachial biceps muscle. The data are consistent with a direct or indirect action of the drug on anterior horn cells.
