Increased Oxidative Stress Exacerbates α-Synuclein Aggregation In Vivo
27 Apr 2018
Abstract excerpt
Increasing evidence suggests a relationship between oxidative stress and α-synuclein aggregation, the primary pathological hallmark of Parkinson disease (PD). However, a direct causal relationship has not yet been established in vivo in mouse models of PD. Superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) is rate limiting in the antioxidant machinery of the mitochondria and even its partial deficiency elevates oxidative stress in...
