Abstract excerpt
To evaluate the level of oxidative stress (OS) in familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD), we analysed four cerebrocortical areas from patients with Swedish FAD bearing the APP670/671 mutation. The temporal inferior cortex (TIC) from Swedish FAD patients revealed a striking 2- to 3-fold increase in diene conjugates, lipid peroxides and protein carbonyls, compared to sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD). Compared with TIC...
