摘要
.beta.-Endorphin-like immunoreactivity (.beta.-EP-LI) in cerebrospinal (CSF) was measured in 42 patients with Alzheimer''s disease (AD), 36 patients with Parkinson''s disease (PD) and 35 controls. Values for patients with Alzheimer''s disease (10.9 .+-. 2.8 pmol/l) seemed to be lower than those for controls (12.9 .+-. 2.5 pmol/l) (P < 0.05). In addition, the severely demented patients had lower values than the moderately demented (P < 0.01). In patients with Parkinson''s disease no significant difference in .beta.-EP-LI values was observed compared to the controls. The data suggest, that processing of pro-opiomelanocortin, precursor of .beta.-endorphin, and the mechanism of cognitive impairment may differ in Alzheimer''s disease and Parkinson''s disease.
