Oxidative stress has been linked with a variety of diseases, being involved in the debut
and/or progress of several neurodegenerative disorders. This review intends to summarize …

Neurodegenerative disorders are primarily characterized by neuron loss. The most common
neurodegenerative disorders include Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Although there …

Osteoarthritis is a highly prevalent disease particularly in subjects over 65 years of age
worldwide. While in the past it was considered a mere consequence of cartilage degradation …

Ageing and chronic degenerative pathologies demonstrate the shared characteristics of
high bioavailability of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress, chronic/persistent …

Among the many heavy metals, chromium (Cr) is one of the fascinating ones. In its two most
prevalent oxidation forms, trivalent (Cr 3+) and hexavalent (Cr 6+), Cr has completely …

Background: The only conclusive way to diagnose Alzheimer's is to carry out brain autopsy
of the patient's brain tissue and ascertain whether the subject had Alzheimer's or any other …

The first report demonstrating that prolonged endurance exercise promotes oxidative stress
in humans was published more than 4 decades ago. Since this discovery, many ensuing …

Increasing numbers of individuals suffer from neurodegenerative diseases, which are
characterized by progressive loss of neurons. Oxidative stress, in particular, the …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are molecules capable of independent existence,
containing at least one oxygen atom and one or more unpaired electrons. This group …

Among other mechanisms, oxidative stress has been postulated to play an important role in
the rate of ageing. Oxidative damage contributes to the hallmarks of ageing and essential …
