Popis: | Brain tissue from 44 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and 36 age-matched controls was examined for choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity, and for densities of D1 and D2 dopamine receptors. Brain samples were examined for Alzheimer' disease (AD) type changes and for Lewy bodies (LBs), and for apolipoprotein E genotype. Patients were evaluated for the stage of cognitive impairment using Reisberg's global deterioration scale. ChAT activity in PD was reduced in all brain areas examined, being 51% of the control mean in the hippocampus (P |
