Oxidative stress and neurodegeneration. Oxidative stress may be involved in neurodegeneration via numerous etiopathogenic mechanisms, in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. A range of antioxidant therapies have been tested in the recent years to reduce oxidative damage in neurodegenerative diseases.
