Plasma levels of amyloid-beta (Aβ) do not correlate well with different stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in cross-sectional studies. Measuring the changes in Aβ plasma levels with an acute intervention may be more sensitive to distinguishing individuals in earlier stages of AD (mild cognitive impairment; MCI) from normal controls.
57 participants (18 with AD/MCI and 39 cognitively normal controls) underwent oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT). Blood samples were obtained over a 2 hour time period. Changes in plasma Aβ40 and42 levels were measured from either baseline or 5 minutes to the 10 minute time point.
Compared to normal controls, subjects with AD/MCI had significantly less change (Δ) in plasma levels for both Aβ40(-3.13(40.93)pg/ml vs. 41.34(57.16)pg/ml;p=0.002) and Aβ42(-0.15(3.77)pg/ml vs. 5.64(10.65)pg/ml; p=0.004).
OGTT combined with measures of plasma Aβ40 and 42 is potentially useful in distinguishing aging individuals who are in different stages of AD.
在横断面研究中,血浆β淀粉样蛋白(Aβ)水平与阿尔茨海默病(AD)的不同阶段相关性不佳。通过急性干预测量Aβ血浆水平的变化,对于区分AD早期阶段(轻度认知障碍;MCI)的个体与正常对照可能更为敏感。
57名参与者(18名AD/MCI患者和39名认知正常对照)接受了口服葡萄糖耐量试验(OGTT)。在2小时内采集血样。从基线或5分钟至10分钟时间点测量血浆Aβ40和Aβ42水平的变化。
与正常对照相比,AD/MCI患者的血浆Aβ40(-3.13(40.93)pg/ml对41.34(57.16)pg/ml;p=0.002)和Aβ42(-0.15(3.77)pg/ml对5.64(10.65)pg/ml;p=0.004)水平变化均显著较小。
OGTT联合血浆Aβ40和Aβ42测量可能有助于区分处于AD不同阶段的老年个体。
