Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial dysfunction, which is closely related to intracellular calcium overload and excessive free radicals, is an important cause of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, molecular mechanisms of the mitochondrial Ca(2+) disregulation induced by oxidative stress in AD are still obscure. In an effort to gain a further understanding of this problem, we investigated the effects of superoxide anion, a primary free...
