Developing a non-invasive animal model for oxidative stress induced brain damage : towards evaluating beneficial therapeutics for the brain.
The brain is particularly sensitive to oxidative stress damage due to high oxygen consumption, high contents of peroxidizable polyunsaturated fatty acid and low levels of antioxidants. Resultant overt oxidative stress is a main causative agent of neurodegenerative diseases. Currently, no animal mode...
