Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease AD is a multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder that numerous factors have key properties in the development of this proteopathy Glucose6phosphate dehydrogenase G6PD is the most common form of enzymopathy We have examined G6PD enzyme activity levels in the serum of newly diagnosed AD patients compared with control subjects without dementia from the both sexes Serum G6PD levels were found to be significantly higher approximately two times in AD patients compared to control geriatric subjects in both sexes We have concluded that G6PD seems to play an integral role in the progress and/or prevention of AD
