In demented patients, UFC levels, not 17-OHCS levels in urine were correlated with Mini-Mental State Examination scores. These results suggest that a hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis function is activated in demented patients and that this activation relates generally to dementation itself, not to an etiology of dementia. Measurement of UFC might be a biological marker of dementia and ...
