Serial CSF sampling over a period of 30 h via an indwelling spinal catheter in healthy volunteers: headache, back pain, tolerability and measured acetylcholine profile

Abstract: Serial sampling of CSF in seven healthy volunteers up to 30 h occurred without serious complications and was well tolerated. The CSF collected was of good quality and facilitated the assessment of an Alzheimer's disease-sensitive biomarker. We conclude that this validation study can form the basis for future patient studies aimed at elucidating disease mechanisms and the pharmacodynamics of drugs in the developmental stage.

“…These alterations lead to pathological changes in the lipid levels in various tissues of the body. The liver is essential for fat catabolism [ 5 ]. Several studies have shown that the fat composition of the liver in hyperlipidemia patients is significantly different from that of a normal liver [ 6 , 7 ].…”

“…The methodology of the serial plasma and CSF sampling used in this study was described previously. 16 In brief, after being assessed for eligibility during a 3-week screening period, the subjects came to the Clinical Pharmacology Unit on the evening of day 2. On day 1, an intravenous cannula was inserted.…”
