HPLC with electrochemical array detection (HPLC-ECD) was
used to quantify 3,3'-dityrosine (diTyr) and 3-nitrotyrosine
(3-NO2-Tyr) in four regions of the human brain that are
differentially affected in Alzheimer's disease (AD). DiTyr and
3-NO2-Tyr levels were elevated consistently in the
hippocampus and neocortical regions of the AD brain and in ventricular
cerebrospinal fluid (VF), reaching quantities five- to eightfold
greater than mean concentrations in brain and VF of cognitively normal
subjects. Uric acid, a proposed peroxynitrite scavenger, was decreased
globally in the AD brain and VF. The results suggest that AD
pathogenesis may involve the activation of oxidant-producing
inflammatory enzyme systems, including nitric oxide synthase.
