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.
