Relationship between the duration of dementia and carnosinase activity in patients with MD (◆, n = 7) and AD (○, n = 12). Duration is the time from the first recorded date of diagnosis to the date of blood collection. Duration of dementia was significant for the MD group (--, r = -0.76, p = 0.05) but not for the AD group (----, r = -0.06, p = 0.86).
