Synopsis

To report the values of a battery of blood inflammatory biomarkers from cognitive normal (CN) to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in our reasonably sized patient cohort and to evaluate the association between gray matter volume (GMV) loss in AD and plasma levels of blood biomarkers, we included 38 elderly CN elderly, 40 mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and 33 AD subjects and obtained blood biomarkers and GMV. We found that GMV was negatively associated with the levels of IL1b, P-tau, and T-tau. There were no significant associations between brain tissue volumes and the levels of mAβ, NLRP3, miR155, oAβ, and Nogo-A.
