Friedreich ataxia: the oxidative stress paradox
22 Dec 2004
Abstract excerpt
Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) results from a generalized deficiency of mitochondrial and cytosolic iron-sulfur protein activity initially ascribed to mitochondrial iron overload. Recent in vitro data suggest that frataxin is necessary for iron incorporation in Fe-S cluster (ISC) and heme biosynthesis. In addition, several reports suggest that continuous oxidative damage resulting from hampered superoxide dismutases...
