Promoting neurological recovery in the post-acute stroke phase: benefits and challenges.

abstract：:The biochemical process underlying Parkinson's disease is dopamine cell death of the nigrostriatal system. The age-dependent cell death is now proposed to be elicited by the formation of free hydroxy radicals which are formed from hydrogen peroxide, a product of oxidation of dopamine by monoamine oxidase, especially t...
