Oxidative stress in neurodegeneration: Cause or consequence?

Andersen, Julie K·2004·Nature Medicine

Abstract

Oxidative stress has long been linked to the neuronal cell death that is associated with certain neurodegenerative conditions. Whether it is a primary cause or merely a downstream consequence of the neurodegenerative process is still an open question, however. The advent of a growing number of in vitro and in vivo models that emulate human disease pathology is aiding scientists in deciphering just where oxidative stress intersects with other cellular events in the emerging roadmap leading to neurodegeneration. Here I review the evidence for oxidative stress in neurodegeneration and how this relates to other cellular events.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Aβ plaques facilitate a positive feedback loop of increasing oxidative stress and elevated Aβ levels, leading to neuritic dystrophy and neuronal death.

    “Aβ plaques also play a role in facilitating a positive feedback loop of increasing oxidative stress and subsequently elevated Aβ levels, leading to neuritic dystrophy and culminating in neuronal death [16,17,18,19].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
