frontotemporal lobar degeneration/albumin

Malnutrition among dementia patients is an important issue. However, the biochemical markers of malnutrition have not been well studied in this population. The purpose of this study was to compare biochemical blood markers among patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), dementia with Lewy bodies

In neurodegenerative diseases, cerebrospinal fluid analysis (CSF) is predominantly performed to exclude inflammatory diseases and to perform a risk assessment in dementive disorders by measurement of tau proteins and amyloid beta peptides. However, large scale data on basic findings of CSF routine

The loss-of-function mechanism in progranulin (PGRN) mutation carriers makes PGRN an interesting target for upregulation as a therapeutic approach in neurodegenerative diseases like frontotemporal lobar degeneration. This gives rise to several questions: (1) how stable are PGRN levels in blood and

Lipoprotein oxidation may play an important role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's Disease (AD), and therefore, we investigated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) antibodies to oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) in patients with AD and other neurodegenerative dementias. IgM and IgG antibody titers to
