The CSF lipid content in brain atrophy.
Significantly low CSF values for cholesterol and total lipids were found in a group of patients with brain atrophy in comparison with a control group. It is possible that these changes are a function of reduced brain mass or of defect in brain lipid metabolism in brain atrophy patients. Further metabolic studies are required to clarify the biochemical aspects of brain atrophy.
