Neurobiol. Aging 23(3) , 383-8, (2002)

There is evidence that increased blood concentrations of homocysteine may be a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. (E)-4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) is a neurotoxic product of lipid peroxidation that is ...

Cerebrospinal fluid and plasma distribution of myo-inositol and other polyols in Alzheimer disease.

Clin. Chem. 42(2) , 298-302, (1996)

Previous studies suggest the presence of increased concentrations of cerebral myo-inositol in Alzheimer disease (AD). To characterize this abnormality further, we quantified myo-inositol and several o...
