Aim/Results

Hydroxynonenal (HNE),a major α,β-unsaturated aldehyde product of n-6 fatty acid oxidation, was higher (P < 0.001) in AD patients compared to controls. HNE was also a good predictor of lipid peroxidation.

What is Required from Patients

blood draw, mild discomfort, in-clinic visits

What is Required from the Health System

phlebotomist, equipped lab (e.g., centrifuge), a way to measure the peptide (e.g., mass spectrometer, protein assay kit, ELISA, or western blot)
