Abstract excerpt
The blood redox status of probable Alzheimer's Disease (AD) patients and control subjects with distinct Apo E genotypes was investigated. It was assessed by measuring the levels of hydroperoxides (MDA) in plasma and erythrocytes, the levels of the antioxidant defense system (enzymatic and non-enzymatic) in plasma, erythrocytes, platelets and leukocytes, the activities of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) in...
