We evaluated a simplified method for preparation and analysis of platelet cytochrome c oxidase activity in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and control patients. Mean cytochrome c oxidase activity in controls (n = 17) was 0.233 sec-1/mg whereas mean cytochrome c oxidase activity in Alzheimer patients (n = 19) was 0.193 sec-1/mg, p = 0.033. Complex III (ubiquinol:cytochrome c oxidoreductase), complex II (succinic dehydrogenase), and citrate synthase were all assayed as internal controls and were not significantly different in controls and Alzheimer patients. There is a relatively specific loss of platelet cytochrome c oxidase activity in Alzheimer disease patients.
我们评估了一种用于制备和分析阿尔茨海默病(AD)患者及对照患者血小板细胞色素c氧化酶活性的简化方法。对照组(n = 17)的细胞色素c氧化酶平均活性为0.233秒⁻¹/毫克,而阿尔茨海默病患者(n = 19)的细胞色素c氧化酶平均活性为0.193秒⁻¹/毫克,p = 0.033。复合物III(泛醇:细胞色素c氧化还原酶)、复合物II(琥珀酸脱氢酶)和柠檬酸合酶均作为内部对照进行检测,在对照组和阿尔茨海默病患者中无显著差异。阿尔茨海默病患者血小板细胞色素c氧化酶活性存在相对特异性的降低。
