Abstract

Meta-analyses show that percentages of non-Cp-Cu-copper that is not bound to ceruloplasmin (also known as 'free' copper)-in serum are higher in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. Genetic heterogeneity in AD patients stratified on the basis of non-Cp-Cu cut-off sustains the existence of a copper AD metabolic subtype. Non-Cp-Cu abnormalities correlated with alterations of electroencephalographic rhythms (EEG).
