Monoamine metabolite concentrations in lumbar cerebrospinal fluid of patients with histologically verified Alzheimer's dementia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Concentrations of 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG), 5-hydroxy indoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) and homovanillic acid (HVA) were determined in lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from control subjects and patients of both presenile and senile age with histologically verified Alzheimer's dementia. CSF HVA increased with age in control but not in Alzheimer patients. HVA and 5-HIAA in the CSF of presenile Alzheimer patients was lower than that of age matched control subjects.

Putative amino acid transmitters in lumbar cerebrospinal fluid of patients with histologically verified Alzheimer's dementia.
Concentrations of individual free amino acids were determined in lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from patients with various complaints including histologically verified Alzheimer's dementia. Glycine and glutamine in the CSF of Alzheimer's dementia samples were lower than that of control samples. Only the concentration of glutamic acid in Alzheimer's dementia patients correlated with psychologi...
متن کاملCholinesterase activities in cerebrospinal fluid of patients with senile dementia of Alzheimer type.
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and nonspecific cholinesterase (nsChE) activities of lumbar ceresbrospinal fluid (CSF) from patients with a clinical or histological diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease have been compared with those of normal age-matched control patients and patients with dementia of non-Alzheimer aetiology. No significant differences in the AChE activity of lumbar CSF from histological...
متن کاملSimultaneous determination of four monoamine metabolites and serotonin in cerebrospinal fluid by "high-performance" liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection; application for patients with Alzheimer's disease.
We describe an optimized, sensitive assay procedure for simultaneously determining 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, and serotonin in human lumbar cerebrospinal fluid. The assay is based on liquid chromatography with an electrochemical detection system equipped with a newly developed, highly sensitive graphite electrode. Before assay, samples are deproteinized wit...

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) activities of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) collected post mortem from the lateral ventricles, cisterna magna, and lumbar regions of the spinal cord of patients with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease were compared with those of normal, age matched control patients, patients with dementia of non-Alzheimer aetiolo...
متن کاملCerebrospinal Fluid Biomarkers in Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
The diagnosis of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is still challenging. Alzheimer's disease (AD), along with vascular dementia, the most important differential diagnosis for iNPH, has several potential cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers which might help in the selection of patients for shunt treatment. The aim of this study was to compare a battery of CSF biomarkers including w...
