Douglas R. Galasko, M.D., of the University of California, San Diego, and his team enrolled 78 patients from the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study (ADCS) Antioxidant Biomarker study in order to analyze alterations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSP) biomarkers associated to AD and oxidative stress, function and cognition. Continue to read: medilexicon.com
