Figure 1 Ferric reducing ability of plasma (eq. Fe(II) μM) of patients with Alzheimer’s disease at different stages of the disease, as evaluated by GDS. Other details in Methods. The number of subjects in every group (n) was: n = 23 in the mild AD (GDS = 3–4);n = 24 in the moderate AD (GDS 5), and n = 12 for severe AD; n = 29 for the control group.
