Copper-zinc superoxide dismutase activity in red blood cells in probable Alzheimer's patients and their first-degree relatives
The activity of the enzyme copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu-Zn SOD) has been investigated in red blood cell (RBC) homogenate obtained from demented patients with probable Alzheimer's disease (DAT), from their first-degree relatives (sisters/brothers and sons/daughters), and from healthy con...
