In this study, we evaluated the response of different human skin fibroblast cultures obtained from eight probable Alzheimer's disease patients and eight non-Alzheimer's disease subjects to an acute oxidative injury elicited by H(2)O(2). This treatment generates reactive oxygen species, which are responsible for DNA damage and apoptosis. To compare the sensitivity of fibroblasts from Alzheimer's disease or...
