摘要: Alzheimer disease (AD) is the most common dementing illness. Metabolic defects in brain with aging contribute to pathogenesis of AD. These changes can be found systematically and thus used as potential biomarkers. Erythrocytes (RBCs) are passive "reporter cells" that not well studied In present study, we analyzed an array glycolytic related enzymes intermediates RBCs from patients AD non-Alzheimer dementia (NA), age-matched controls (AC) young adult (YC). characterized by higher activities hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, bisphosphoglycerate mutase phosphatase RBCs. our observed displayed significantly lower AC. However, similar or were NA groups compared YC group. 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) levels decreased patients. The pattern between above indices strongly correlates each other. Collectively, data suggested associated chronic disturbance 2,3-DPG metabolism may play a pivotal role physiological processes, which predispose elderly subjects NA.
