Article Synopsis
- Scientists think that oxidative stress, which means damage from too many harmful substances in the body, is linked to Parkinson's disease (PD).
- A specific gene called LRRK2 has mutations that make it more active and can increase the risk of getting PD, and this is related to more oxidative stress.
- In studies with special lab techniques and cells from people with PD, it was found that blocking LRRK2 activity helps reduce harmful reactions, suggesting that controlling LRRK2 could help manage oxidative stress in PD.
