The present study evaluated whether oxidative stress has a role in the progression of cognitive impairment to Alzheimer&#8217;s disease. Data from 70 patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) were analyzed. MCI is described as an intermediate stage between the expected cognitive (mental) decline of normal aging and the more serious decline of dementia. The results of the study provided evidence that the progression to Alzheimer&#8217;s disease can be related to a decrease in antioxidants in blood, such as vitamin E.
