Melatonin oxidative stress and neurodegenerative diseases.
Oxidative Stress is implicated as one of the primary factors that contribute to the development of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinsonism and neurological conditions like epileptic seizures, stroke, brain damage, neurotrauma etc. The increased formation and release of oxygen free radicals coupled with the rather low antioxidative potential of the central nervous syste...
متن کاملCreatine affords protection against glutamate-induced nitrosative and oxidative stress
Creatine has been reported to exert beneficial effects in several neurodegenerative diseases in which glutamatergic excitotoxicity and oxidative stress play an etiological role. The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effects of creatine, as compared to the N-Methyl-d-Aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist dizocilpine (MK-801), against glutamate or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-ind...
متن کاملALS and Oxidative Stress: The Neurovascular Scenario
Oxidative stress and angiogenic factors have been placed as the prime focus of scientific investigations after an establishment of link between vascular endothelial growth factor promoter (VEGF), hypoxia, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) pathogenesis. Deletion of the hypoxia-response element in the vascular endothelial growth factor promoter and mutant superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) which...
متن کاملNeuro-oxidative-nitrosative stress in sepsis.
Neuro-oxidative-nitrosative stress may prove the molecular basis underlying brain dysfunction in sepsis. In the current review, we describe how sepsis-induced reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) trigger lipid peroxidation chain reactions throughout the cerebrovasculature and surrounding brain parenchyma, due to failure of the local antioxidant systems. ROS/RNS cause structural membra...
متن کاملOxidative and Nitrosative Stress in the Metastatic Microenvironment
Metastases that are resistant to conventional therapies are the main cause of most cancer-related deaths in humans. Tumor cell heterogeneity, which associates with genomic and phenotypic instability, represents a major problem for cancer therapy. Additional factors, such as the attack of immune cells or organ-specific microenvironments, also influence metastatic cell behavior and the response t...
