Lower Levels of Eicosapentaenoic Acid and the Ratio of Docosahexaenoic Acid to Arachidonic Acid in Sera of Patients with Multi-Infarct Dementia

To survey the risk factors in multi-infarct dementia (MID), the levels of fatty acids in serum were measured for MID patients and compared with those of healthy individuals. Examined were 40 MID patients aged 57-94 and 152 healthy control subjects aged 50-89. The mean levels of polyunsaturated fatty...

Description
Summary:To survey the risk factors in multi-infarct dementia (MID), the levels of fatty acids in serum were measured for MID patients and compared with those of healthy individuals. Examined were 40 MID patients aged 57-94 and 152 healthy control subjects aged 50-89. The mean levels of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), monounsaturated fatty acid and saturated fatty acid of MID were lower than those of the control subjects (p
