Cerebrospinal Fluid Somatostatin and Neuropeptide Y: Concentrations in Aging and in Dementia of the Alzheimer Type With and Without Extrapyramidal Signs
Abstract
Cerebrospinal fluid somatostatin and neuropeptide Y concentrations were measured in 26 healthy normal subjects, 27 patients with dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT), and seven patients with DAT with extrapyramidal signs (EDAT). In healthy normal subjects, there was no significant correlation between age and either somatostatin or neuropeptide Y concentration. However, the concentrations of both peptides correlated significantly with each …
