## Abstract Abnormalities in mitochondrial function relate to the spectrum of pathological changes seen in Alzheimer's disease. Here we review the causes and consequences of mitochondrial disturbances in Alzheimer's disease as well as how this information might impact on therapeutic approaches to t
Although the ultimate origin and role of mitochondrial pathology in Parkinson's disease (PD) remains controversial, accumulating data suggest that mitochondrial dysfunction is genetic and plays an important role in neurodegeneration. PD mitochondria display abnormal electron transport chain activity
## 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
