Modification of Biological Membrane Antioxidants in Human Brain with Alzheimer''''s Disease

For investigating the effect of biological membrane antioxidants in Alzheimer's disease(AD),the frontal and occipital cortexes, and hippocampus from human brains affected by AD were analyzed for their contents of protein, DNA, ubiquinone, phosphatidylethanolamine plasmalogen and malondiadehyde. The age matched control brains with same areas as AD were chosen from the patients died from causes unrelated to the nervous system. The results showed that there were no differences of protein and DNA amounts between the brains with AD and the controls; increased content of ubiquinone and declined level of phosphatidylethanolamine plasmalogen were observed in the frontal cortex and hippocampus in AD brains . Raised amount of malondiadehyde was present after being induced by iron in the brain areas affected by AD.No changes, however, appeared in the occipital cortex of brains from the patients with AD. These results demonstrate that levels of biological membrane antioxidants are modified in brains affected by AD, which is related to the change of free radicals. This study gives out one evidence in which free radials and the resulting toxicity might have an important role in pathogenesis of AD.
