ASAH2 and Alzheimer disease: Quantitation of nSMase (neutral sphingomyelinase) and ASM (acid sphingomyelinase) (Fig. 4) revealed a decreasing trend, although not statistically significant, in AD patients compared to iNPH, whereas, Anti-Ceramidase antibody (anti-ASAH2) was tested on the same sub-pools but ceramidase was, in our hands, undetectable in CSF samples.
