Study ID	ST000433
Study Title	Plasma sphingolipid changes with autopsy-confirmed Lewy body or Alzheimer's pathology
Study Type	targeted sphingolipid and fatty acid analyses
Study Summary	We identified four groups with available plasma 2 years before death: high (n = 12) and intermediate-likelihood DLB (n = 14) based on the third report of the DLB consortium; dementia with Alzheimer's pathology (AD; n = 18); and cognitively normal with normal aging pathology (n = 21). Lipids were measured using ESI/MS/MS.

Treatment ID:	TR000468
Treatment Summary:	All individuals were enrolled in the Mayo Clinic Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) and donated their brain to the Neuropathology Core. Eligibility criteria for the proposed study included an autopsy report and available blood at the last study visit before death. Standardized methods for sampling and neuropathologic examination were performed according to the third report of the DLB consortium (CDLB) [20], [21] and the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease guidelines [22]. Braak neurofibrillary tangle (NFT) stage was determined based on the distribution of NFTs assessed with Bielschowsky silver stain [23]. A consensus clinical diagnosis was determined at each study visit by a panel of neurologists, neuropsychologists, and nurses who reviewed all patient information including neuropsychological results, activities of daily living, and the Clinical Dementia Rating scale. The diagnosis of dementia was based on DSM-III-R criteria [24]. We identified the following four groups: (1) Cognitively normal-normal pathology [CN, n = 21]. These individuals had no LBs, had low-likelihood AD according to the National Institute of Aging (NIA)-Reagan Criteria [25], and were cognitively normal as of their last study visit. (2) High-likelihood DLB [n = 13]. These individuals met criteria for high-likelihood DLB according to the CDLB, had Braak NFT stage ≤ IV, low to intermediate-likelihood AD, and a diagnosis of dementia as of the last study visit. Twelve patients had diffuse LB and one had transitional LB. (3) Intermediate-likelihood DLB (n = 17). These individuals had both DLB and AD pathologies. They had transitional (n = 14) or diffuse (n = 3) LBs, met criteria for intermediate-likelihood DLB according to the CDLB, had Braak NFT stage ≥ IV, intermediate to high-likelihood AD, and a diagnosis of dementia as of the last study visit. (4) Alzheimer's disease pathology (AD, n = 18). These individuals had high (n = 16) or intermediate (n = 2) likelihood AD according to NIA-Reagan criteria, had Braak NFT stage ≥ IV, no LBs, and had a diagnosis of probable AD dementia. Given our previous report that plasma ceramides increase with age and are higher in women [26], we frequency matched the four groups by sex and also by age.
