The antioxidant enzymatic blood profile in Alzheimer's and vascular diseases. Their association and a possible assay to differentiate demented subjects and controls
A study of several elements of the antioxidative system: Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione system (GLU), chemiluminescence (CHE), and antioxidant capacity (AOX), was conducted in 20 demented probable Alzheimer's (DAT), and 15 vascular demented (VD) patients, 19 contr...
