How Do Neurotoxic Agents Cause Neuropathy?

Neurotoxic agents can cause neuropathy through various mechanisms:
- Oxidative Stress: Many neurotoxins induce oxidative stress, leading to cellular damage.
- Mitochondrial Dysfunction: Some toxins impair mitochondrial function, disrupting energy production in nerve cells.
- Interference with Axonal Transport: Certain chemicals impede the transport of essential molecules along axons.
- Inflammation: Some agents trigger inflammatory responses that can damage nerve tissues.
