ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the association of serum angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE)activity and ACE gene polymorphism with vascular dementia(VD)and Alzheimer's disease(AD).Methods Using the polymerase chain reaction(PCR),ACE gene polymorphism was analyzed in 62 patients with VD,39 patients with AD and 50 healthy controls.The ACE activity in 56 patients with VD,33 patients with AD and 46 healthy controls was measured by means of capillary electrophoresis ultraviolet detection.Results The ACE activity showed no significant difference between VD,AD and healthy controls.We did not find any association of ACE gene polymorphism in patients with VD.The frequency of I allele was significantly higher in AD group than that in the controls(P
