Evidence for drug metabolism as a source of reactive species in the brain
1992
Several pathways for reactive species formation involving xenobiotic metabolism exist in the brain. They include oxidative activation by different enzymatic systems like cytochrome P-450 and monoamine oxidases, and superoxide radical production issued from reductive xenobiotic metabolism. They may contribute to cellular impairment observed in various physiopathological situations.
