Oxidative stress in neurological diseases: cause or effect?
Oxidative stress is a dynamic and complex situation in which there is an imbalance between the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the availability and action of antioxidants. The central nervous system (CNS) consumes large amounts of oxygen to carry out physiological processes, and this metabolism process generates abundant free radicals. Certain factors make the CNS susceptible to...
متن کاملOxidative Stress: Cause and Consequence of Diseases
Oxidative stress, termed as an imbalance between production and elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leading to plural oxidative modifications of basic and regulatory processes, can be caused in different ways. Increased steady-state ROS levels can be promoted by drug metabolism, overexpression of ROS-producing enzymes, or ionizing radiation, as well as due to deficiency of antioxidant ...
متن کاملCorpora Amylacea in Neurodegenerative Diseases: Cause or Effect?
The presence of corpora amylacea (CA) in the CNS is associated with both normal aging and neurodegenerative conditions including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD). CA are spherical bodies ranging in diameter (10-50 μm) and whose origin has been documented to be derived from both neural and glial sources. CA are reported to be primarily composed of glucose polymers, but approx...
