Potential of natural polyphenols in the prevention of Parkinson's disease
Neuroprotective strategies with the use of natural polyphenols are developed to influence: oxidative stress, inflammatory processes, mitochondrial dysfunction, and apoptosis, as well as the mechanisms responsible for the removal of damaged mitochondria and abnormal α-synuclein - autophagy. These mechanisms are verified in different in vitro and in vivo PD research models.
