  1. Serum C5a level increased with AD severity, and its expression was positively correlated with serum pro-inflammatory factor levels, and negatively correlated with cognitive function.

  2. Sex differences in Alzheimer's disease: plasma MMP-9 and markers of disease severity

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 71 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2022-11-02 Biomarkers

    MMP-9 may have more detrimental effects on AD-related pathological and cognitive changes in women.

  3. The Influence of Baseline Alzheimer's Disease Severity on Cognitive Decline and CSF Biomarkers in the NILVAD Trial

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Frontiers in neurology 2020-03-06 Biomarkers

    We examined the effects of a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker nilvadipine with anti-inflammatory properties on cognition and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers by baseline Alzheimer's disease (AD) severity.

  4. Potential blood biomarker for disease severity in the Taiwanese population with Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. American journal of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias 2012-12-10 Biomarkers

    The identification of blood biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease (AD) could contribute for improvement in early diagnosis.

  5. Severity of gliosis in Pick's disease and frontotemporal lobar degeneration: tau-positive glia differentiate these disorders

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 2003-04-01 Biomarkers

    Formalin-fixed brain specimens from sporadic cases with frontotemporal dementia (eight with tau-positive Pick bodies, five with frontotemporal lobar degeneration without inclusions) were compared with those from non-diseased controls (n = 5).

  6. To gain insight of the underlying mechanisms of astroglial response to Alzheimer's disease (AD), the level of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from controls and AD subjects were immunochemically determined, and the correlation between that level and dementia severity of AD patients was evaluated.
