Abstract excerpt
Environmental factors are implicated in aging as well as genetic predisposition-induced Parkinson's disease (PD) pathogenesis. Wrongdoers increase oxidative stress and nitrosative burden, which eventually degenerate the nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons. Inhibition of the expression of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), an enzyme responsible for nitric oxide (NO) biosynthesis, prevents the demise of the nigrostriatal...
