ABOUT THIS BOOK
The role of free radicals and oxidative stress in neurological disorders has
only recently been recognized, leaving clinical neurologists to seek in vain
for information on the subject even in major textbooks. What published information
there is may consist of brief reminders of the possible association of superoxidase
dismutase with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and nitrous oxide with
migraine. With luck they may also find information on the purported role of
free radicals in the pathogenesis of traumatic brain injury. Oxidative Stress
and Free Radical Damage in Neurology sets the record straight, focusing on clinical
and research issues regarding the interplay of free radicals and the human nervous
system. Crucially, the chapters cover numerous antioxidants and their possible
therapeutic role in neurological disorders. Key illnesses such as epilepsy,
multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s are analyzed, and chapters also examine
more general issues such as the link between free radicals and inflammation
of the central nervous system. Clinicians and laboratory researchers alike will
find that this book augments their understanding not only of the widespread
involvement of free radicals in the central nervous system but also of some
uncertainties surrounding whether free radical damage in neurology plays a primary
or secondary role.
