Foods with Potential Prooxidant and Antioxidant Effects Involved in Parkinson’s Disease

Figure 2

Proposed mechanism of food with pro- and antioxidant properties in the development of PD. Description of how the excessive intake of oxidized proteins and lipids causes the synthesis of oxidized molecules that worsens the symptoms of PD. A diet rich in carbohydrates can increase oxidative stress and cause oxidative neuronal damage. Food products can help to neutralize mediators of PD progression.
