“…Some studies have reported ageassociated increase in oxidative stress-led ROS as a contributor to formation of neuronal plaque, a-synuclein, and mHtt (Li et al, 2013), and other studies have suggested a role for amyloid b protein formation in ROS production (Behl et al, 1997;Abramov and Duchen, 2005;Shelat et al, 2008). Likewise with regard to PD pathology, it is reported that oxidative stress promotes a-synuclein aggregation in dopaminergic neurons, and that a-synuclein further generates intracellular ROS (Xiang et al, 2013). Furthermore, neuronal cell culture studies have implicated free radicals in misfolding and accumulation of mHttinduced neurotoxicity in PC12 cells.…”
