We examined the distribution of zinc in the periphery (erythrocytes and serum) in a large, well-characterised cohort, the Australian Imaging, Biomarkers and Lifestyle (AIBL) study, in order to determine if there is systemic perturbation in zinc homeostasis in Alzheimer's disease (AD). We observed an age dependent decrease in serum zinc of approximately 0.4% per year. When correcting for the age dependent decline in serum zinc no significant difference between healthy controls (HC), mildly cognitively impaired (MCI) or AD subjects was observed.
我们在一个规模大、特征明确的队列——澳大利亚影像、生物标志物和生活方式(AIBL)研究中,检测了锌在周围组织(红细胞和血清)中的分布,以确定阿尔茨海默病(AD)患者的锌稳态是否存在全身性紊乱。我们观察到血清锌随年龄增长每年下降约0.4%。在校正血清锌随年龄的下降后,未观察到健康对照(HC)、轻度认知障碍(MCI)或AD受试者之间存在显著差异。
