Abstract
In serum of 114 patients with dementia and of 102 controls the level of IG class immunoglobulins
directed against oxidized LDL and lipids were determined. In isolated DNA apolipoprotein
E gene (APOE) polymorphism was identified. In some individuals very high levels of the antibodies
were observed. exceeding the 90 percentile in the investigated group. The prevalence
of very high anti-ox LDL antibodies level was significantly more frequent in the carriers
of ε2 allele and less frequent in the carriers of ε4 allele.
