Oxidative stress contributes to the cascade leading to dopamine cell degeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, oxidative stress is intimately linked to other components of the degenerative process, such as mitochondrial dysfunction, excitotoxicity, nitric oxide toxicity and inflammation. It

## Abstract We studied nitrogen radical nitric oxide (.NO) release and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by isolated neurophils after phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) stimulation in 12 newly diagnosed and nine treated Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and 10 age‐matched healthy controls. Neut
## Abstract Oxidative stress is well documented in Parkinson's disease (PD) and has been attributed to dopamine oxidative metabolism. However, evidence of oxidative stress is found in a variety of neurodegenerative disorders, suggesting that more general factors are responsible or that cytodestruct
## Abstract Oxidative stress is influenced by the thiol homeostasis, which determines the redox milieu. One of its components is Cysteinyl‐glycine (Cys‐Gly) generation, as its metabolic precursor is the free radicals scavenging glutathione. Levodopa is under suspicion to promote oxidative stress vi
