Activities of 2 enzymes protecting from free radical damage, erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase and superoxidase dismutase, were measured in 4 patients with Alzheimer's disease, in 4 with multi‐infarct dementia, in 1 with Huntington's disease and in 1 with Hakola‐Nasu disease. In none of these dementing diseases the activities were diminished compared to controls.
