Abstract
Using inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS)
graphite furnace atomic absorption (GFAAS) and flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS), we
measured sixteen elements in the plasma from twenty-one patients affected by Alzheimer's disease
(AD) and twenty-five with multi-infactual dementia (MID) with respect to age-matched controls.
Aluminum and selenium concentrations were moderately elevated both in AD and MID. Rubidium,
arsenic, cesium, lithium, and manganese concentrations were reduced in AD, while bubidium,
magnesium, arsenic, strontium, and manganese concentrations were lower in MID with respect to the
age-matched controls.
