NRF2 Activation and Downstream Effects: Focus on Parkinson’s Disease and Brain Angiotensin

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are signalling molecules used to regulate cellular metabolism and homeostasis. However, excessive ROS production causes oxidative stress, one of the main mechanisms associated with the origin and progression of neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. NR...
