Oxidative-stress associated parameters (lactoferrin, superoxide dismutases) in serum of patients with Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract In this case/control study, serum levels of oxidative stress related parameters such as Fe-binding lactoferrin (LTF), Mn- and Zn.Cu-superoxide dismutase (SOD) were determined by enzyme linked immunoassays in patients suffering from the Alzheimer's dementia as well as in non-demented controls. The Mn-SOD concentration was significantly (P
