Oxidative Stress and the Neurodegenerative Diseases

Oxidative Stress and the Neurodegenerative Diseases

Post Views: 204 Neurodegenerative diseases are debilitating conditions that impair motor and cognitive functions. Theory points to oxidative stress, an imbalance between the formation of free radicals and antioxidants in the body, as a potential cause. This imbalance can lead to neuronal damage over time. Oxidative stress may be linked to the plaques, tangles, and…

All you need to know about Oxidative stress and Inflammation

Post Views: 15,938 Oxidative stress occurs due to an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and the protective system’s ability to detoxify these reactive products. It can cause damage to cells and tissues and can lead to chronic inflammation. Long-term oxidative stress can also cause conditions such as diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. What…
