What Role Does Oxidative Stress Play in Alzheimer's Disease?
Oxidative stress is a condition characterized by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the body's ability to detoxify them. In Alzheimer's Disease, oxidative stress is believed to play a crucial role in neuronal damage and death. Toxins like heavy metals and pesticides can increase oxidative stress, exacerbating the progression of AD.
