The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Choline acetyltransferase in temporal cortex was evaluated as a marker of cholinergic function in autopsied dementia cases ( 9 vascular dementia [VaD] cases, 12 "mixed" VaD and Alzheimer disease [AD] cases, 10 AD cases, 12 control subjects). Patients with AD (t = 2.5, p = 0.02) and "mixed" VaD and AD (t = 3.8, p = 0.001) had greater cholinergic deficits than age-matched control subjects and patients with "pure" VaD. The absence of cholinergic deficits in "pure" VaD may be relevant to the pharmacologic treatment of these patients.
