Oxidative Neural Injury

From the reviews: "This book addresses how oxidative stress contributes to age-related cellular dysfunction particularly in Alzheimer's ischemia, Parkinson's disease, and other neurodegenerative conditions. The book fills a niche, addressing the current molecular understanding of oxidative stress and its role in pathophysiology. ... it is most appropriate for the many neuroscientists around the world contemplating how to identify the next best approach for targeted therapy for several neurodegenerative diseases. ... the book is a good resource for libraries with PhD graduate students and molecular neuroscience laboratories."
