    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2023-08-02 Biomarkers

    In aging, mitochondrial dysfunction may play a vital role in AD pathological changes and neuroinflammation.

  2. Is Cerebrospinal Fluid Superoxide Dismutase 1 a Biomarker of Tau But Not Amyloid-Induced Neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's Disease?

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Antioxidants & redox signaling 2019-06-26 Biomarkers

    Copper/zinc superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) scavenges free radicals that may otherwise damage brain parenchyma.

  3. Myeloperoxidase-immunoreactive cells are significantly increased in brain areas affected by neurodegeneration in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Cell and tissue research 2017-05-02 Biomarkers

    Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a key enzyme in inflammatory and degenerative processes, although conflicting reports have been presented concerning its expression in the brain.

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2008-09-01 Biomarkers

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with brain insulin resistance and insulin deficiency, whereas Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with peripheral insulin resistance.

  5. Inflammatory changes are tightly associated with neurodegeneration in the brain and spinal cord of the APP/PS1KI mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2008-07-26 Biomarkers

    Inflammatory processes are considered to play an important role in the progression of neurodegenerative changes in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  6. Nitration in neurodegeneration: deciphering the "Hows" "nYs"

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Biochemistry 2007-06-02 Biomarkers

    Recent literature has ushered in a new awareness of the diverse post-translational events that can influence protein folding and function.

  7. CSF neurofilament protein (NFL) -- a marker of active HIV-related neurodegeneration

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Journal of neurology 2007-04-10 Biomarkers

    Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) NFL concentrations were measured by ELISA (normal < 250 ng/l) in archived samples from 210 HIV-infected patients not taking antiretroviral treatment: 55 with AIDS dementia complex (ADC), 44 with various CNS opportunistic infections/tumours (CNS OIs), 95 without neurological symptoms or signs, and 16 with primary HIV infection (PHI).
