摘要: Neuropathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, containing betaA(42) peptide tau protein, respectively. Amyloid contain also glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Whereas cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels protein have been demonstrated as potential markers (AD), no data available for GAGs. We determined (Elisa) CSF levels, well serum antibodies to GAGs in 9 AD patients, the values were analyzed relation age severity disease. Beta-A42 significantly reduced increased, respectively, patients when compared controls, but they did not correlate with Despite their role amyloidogenesis, we find evidence use diagnostic marker AD.
