  • Published : 2001.10.01

Abstract

Oxidative stress induced by reactive oxygen and/or nitrogen species has been considered as a major cause of cellular injuries in a variety of neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimers disease (AD). Inflammatory as well as oxidative tissue damage has been associated with pathophysiology of AD, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have been reported to have beneficial effects in the treatment or prevention of AD.(omitted)
