Abstract

The article explores the association between oxidative stress and neurodegenerative diseases. Information on reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation is provided. It notes the important role of ROS in the host defense system. It also notes the link between accumulation of protein aggregates and ROS production. Also included are information on the susceptibility of neuronal cells to oxidative stress and the effect of oxidative stress on the neuronal microenvironment.
