Correlations between CSF CysC and CSF Αβ40 and Αβ42 levels.

<p>Abbreviations: AD, Alzheimer's disease; DLB, dementia with Lewy body; AF-GP, the atrophic form of general paresis; NC, normal control; CysC, cystatin C; Αβ, amyloid-β.</p

The serum and CSF CysC levels of dementia patients divided by CDR scores.

<p>No significant differences in serum or CSF CysC levels were observed in patients with AD (A and D), DLB (B and E) and AF-GP (C and F). Statistically significant difference was calculated using one-way ANOVA. Data are means ± SD.
