Abstract excerpt
Several lines of evidence, including an increased level of lipid peroxidation and the depletion of antioxidant molecules like as glutathione (GSH), indicate that oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). We previously observed a significant increased level of DNA oxidative damage in peripheral...
