Oxidative stress is important in the process of dopaminergic neuronal degeneration in Parkinson's disease. Recent studies suggest that estrogens have neuroprotective effects in neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease. In the present study, we investigated neuroprotection against o

## Abstract We investigated the effect of hetastarch, used for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke, on neuronal cell damage by oxidative stress, a main pathogenic mechanism in ischemic stroke. Neuronally differentiated PC12 cells (nPC12 cells) were treated with varying concentrations of hetastar
Increased production of superoxide and nitric oxide may produce oxidative stress in the placenta by formation of the prooxidant peroxynitrite, which itself causes vascular dysfunction. Nitrotyrosine residues, which are a marker of peroxynitrite formation and action, are found in placental vessels of
## Abstract It is now established that the brain possesses a local reninβangiotensin system and that angiotensin II exerts multiple actions in the nervous system, including regulation of striatal dopamine release. Furthermore, angiotensin activates NADPHβdependent oxidases, which are a major source
Oxidative stress and increased cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) activity are both implicated in the loss of dopaminergic neurons from the substantia nigra (SN) in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD). Prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2 ) is one of the key products of COX-2 activity and PGE 2 production is increased in
## Abstract Thiolβproteases play important roles in many cellular processes, including maintenance of protein homeostasis and execution of cell death. Therefore, determining how this family of enzymes is regulated is critical for our understanding of both physiological and pathological conditions.
