In the cerebrospinal fluid of untreated patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) the concentrations of reduced glutathione (GSH) and alpha-tocopherol (alpha-TOH) were unaltered but the concentration of oxidized glutathione (glutathione disulfide, GSSG) (P < 0.001), the GSSG/GSH ratio (P < 0.06), alpha-tocopherol quinone (alpha-TQ) (P < 0.001), and the alpha-TQ/alpha-TOH ratio (P < 0.01) were reduced significantly. In L-dopa-treated patients, the concentrations of GSH, GSSG, and the alpha-TQ concentration and the alpha-TQ/alpha-TOH ratio (P < 0.05) increased compared with untreated PD patients. These results suggest that oxidation of GSH and alpha-TOH is decreased in untreated PD patients, but is activated to a control level or more after L-dopa treatment.
在未经治疗的帕金森病(PD)患者的脑脊液中,还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)和α-生育酚(α-TOH)的浓度未发生改变,但氧化型谷胱甘肽(谷胱甘肽二硫化物,GSSG)的浓度(P < 0.001)、GSSG/GSH比值(P < 0.06)、α-生育酚醌(α-TQ)(P < 0.001)以及α-TQ/α-TOH比值(P < 0.01)均显著降低。在接受左旋多巴治疗的患者中,与未经治疗的PD患者相比,GSH、GSSG的浓度以及α-TQ浓度和α-TQ/α-TOH比值(P < 0.05)均有所升高。这些结果表明,未经治疗的PD患者中GSH和α-TOH的氧化作用减弱,但在左旋多巴治疗后被激活至对照水平或更高。
