Role of GSK-3β in PD: oxidative stress is a central mechanism intricate in the pathogenesis of PD. Dopamine metabolism and mitochondrial dysfunction induce formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which causes oxidative stress. Beside, impairment of protein degradation pathway promotes oxidative stress. Activated microglia and GSK-3β accelerate oxidative stress by inhibiting the expression of anti-oxidant proteins such as nuclear factor-related erythroid factor (Nrf2) with inhibition of anti-oxidant response element (ARE)
