Abnormality of the α‐ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex in fibroblasts from familial Alzheimer's disease
1 Mar 1994
Abstract excerpt
To test whether previously demonstrated reductions in the activity of the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (KGDHC) in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain also occur in morphologically normal AD tissues, we examined KGDHC in cultured skin fibroblasts from patients with familial AD (FAD). KGDHC activity was reduced by 44% in the FAD cells (p < 0.002) from the 4 families studied, including a within-kindred...
