Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, are characterized by the progressive deterioration of neuronal structure and function within the central and peripheral nervous systems. Among the multifactorial mechanisms implicated in their pathogenesis, oxidative stress and chronic neuroinflammation have emerged as pivotal contributors. An imbalance in redox homeostasis, marked by excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and impaired antioxidant defenses, leads to sustained activation of inflammatory pathways and exacerbation of neuronal injury. This intricate interplay, known as the redox-neuroinflammatory nexus, constitutes a central axis in the onset and progression of neurodegeneration. This review underscores the critical role of redox imbalance in neurodegenerative processes and provides a comprehensive analysis of the oxidative stress and inflammation crosstalk in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, offering insights into potential therapeutic targets.
期刊介绍:
Inflammopharmacology is the official publication of the Gastrointestinal Section of the International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology (IUPHAR) and the Hungarian Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology Society (HECPS). Inflammopharmacology publishes papers on all aspects of inflammation and its pharmacological control emphasizing comparisons of (a) different inflammatory states, and (b) the actions, therapeutic efficacy and safety of drugs employed in the treatment of inflammatory conditions. The comparative aspects of the types of inflammatory conditions include gastrointestinal disease (e.g. ulcerative colitis, Crohn''s disease), parasitic diseases, toxicological manifestations of the effects of drugs and environmental agents, arthritic conditions, and inflammatory effects of injury or aging on skeletal muscle. The journal has seven main interest areas:
-Drug-Disease Interactions - Conditional Pharmacology - i.e. where the condition (disease or stress state) influences the therapeutic response and side (adverse) effects from anti-inflammatory drugs. Mechanisms of drug-disease and drug disease interactions and the role of different stress states
-Rheumatology - particular emphasis on methods of measurement of clinical response effects of new agents, adverse effects from anti-rheumatic drugs
-Gastroenterology - with particular emphasis on animal and human models, mechanisms of mucosal inflammation and ulceration and effects of novel and established anti-ulcer, anti-inflammatory agents, or antiparasitic agents
-Neuro-Inflammation and Pain - model systems, pharmacology of new analgesic agents and mechanisms of neuro-inflammation and pain
-Novel drugs, natural products and nutraceuticals - and their effects on inflammatory processes, especially where there are indications of novel modes action compared with conventional drugs e.g. NSAIDs
-Muscle-immune interactions during inflammation [...]
