Abstract: The association between F2-isoprostanes and Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been controversially discussed in the literature since the 1990s. However, no systematic review has been performed so far.A systematic review of observational studies on the associations of F2-isoprostanes and the specific biomarker 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α with AD were conducted. Random-effects model meta-analyses were performed.29 studies were included in the systematic review, including four longitudinal studies. In an overall meta-analysis of the 25 cross-sectional studies, F2-isoprostane levels were statistically significantly associated with AD (Hedge's g [95% confidence interval]: 1.00 [0.69-1.32]). When studies were grouped by biomarker and sample specimen, F2-isoprostane and 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α levels were statistically significantly elevated in tissue samples of the frontal lobe of AD patients. Moreover, F2-isoprostane levels in cerebrospinal fluid and 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α levels in blood samples of AD patients were significantly increased. Meta-analyses of the few longitudinal studies did not reach statistical significance.Increased concentrations of F2-isoprostanes were found in AD patients. However, due to the lack of adjustment in most cross-sectional case-control studies, results must be interpreted carefully. In addition, the causality of the association is uncertain because evidence from well-conducted longitudinal studies was conflicting, and further longitudinal studies are required to reinforce the results.
