OXIDATIVE AND NITRATIVE STRESS IN NEURODEGENERATION

Oxidative and nitrative stress in neurodegeneration

Aerobes require oxygen for metabolism and normal free radical formation.As a result, maintaining the redox homeostasis is essential for brain cell survival due to their high metabolic energy requirement to sustain electrochemical gradients, neurotransmitter release, and membrane lipid stability.Further, brain antioxidant levels are limited compared
