| Research Abstract |
We examined superoxide dismutase (SOD) in patients with dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT). The DAT patients were divided into two subgroups as follows : Alzheimer's disease (AD) that develops before 65 years of age and senile dementia of the Alzheimer type (SDAT) that develops after 65 years of age. We examined SOD levels in erythrocyte, serum, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and fibroblast. SOD levels in skin fibroblast of DAT showed abnormality. The change of SOD mRNA was closely correlate with that of protein levels of SOD. SOD in erythrocyte, serum and CSF in Parkinson's disease were significantly lower than those in controls.
