title: [Oxidative stress in Alzheimer's disease].
abstract: A short review of recent literature on oxidative stress in Alzheimer's disease is presented. Own results on the content of reduced glutathione and protein-bound sulfhydryl groups in the blood of Alzheimer's disease patients are reported. In comparison with a group of healthy age-matched controls the Alzheimer's disease patients have a decreased level of reduced glutathione in erythocytes and significantly increased amounts of protein-bound sulfhydryl groups in blood plasma.
