Recent research results suggest the possibility for age-related disease prevention by lifestyle changes and therapy. Although research in this field is moving forward at a remarkable pace, currently no ideal treatment exists for these devastating diseases. Oxidative Stress and Age-Related Neurodegeneration, written by a broad spectrum of experts in the field, provides a timely collection of articles that cover many of the recent developments. Chapters explore the susceptibility and site-of-action of oxidative stress in age-related neurodegeneration; whether these effects can be attenuated by antioxidants; and the role of antioxidants and natural micronutrients in the prevention of age-related neurodegeneration.
