Alpha1-Antichymotrypsin Level in Cerebrospinal Fluid Is Closely Associated with Late Onset Alzheimer's Disease.

Open access

Abstract

The levels of alpha 1-antichymotrypsin (ACT) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from 66 sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and 54 normal controls were measured by enzyme immunoassay and compared. There was no correlation (r = 0.259, n = 54) between the ACT level and normal aging. The levels of ACT were significantly higher in the total AD group (p < 0.01) than in the normal control group. Dividing AD patients into early onset AD (n = 27) and late onset AD groups (n = 39), the mean level of CSF ACT in the late onset AD group was significantly higher than that in the normal control group (p < 0.001) and that in the early onset AD group (p < 0.01). Thus, the level of ACT in CSF is closely associated with late onset AD.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Serpina3n, a gene known to be associated with AD risk, was increased in Abi3−/− mice.

    “We observed an increase in Serpina3n, a gene that is known to be associated with AD risk (30), in Abi3−/− mice.”

    From Deletion of Abi3 gene locus exacerbates neuropathological features of Alzheimer’s disease in a mouse model of Aβ amyloidosis (2021) · cites this paper as [30]

    The Results (page not provided) show that cerebrospinal-fluid alpha1-antichymotrypsin levels were elevated in patients with late-onset AD, supporting an association with AD. The paper does not identify Serpina3n or establish that the gene is associated with AD risk. The increase in Abi3−/− mice is the citing authors’ own observation, not a finding attributed to this source. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
