Abstract excerpt
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has a protective role in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokines are potentially implicated in AD risk. In this study, BDNF was detected in serum of AD and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients and investigated in association with gene polymorphisms of BDNF (Val66Met and C270T), of some oxidative stress-related genes (FOXO3A, SIRT3, GLO1,...
