Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Abstract

The current status of knowledge about the roles played by radical reactions in the pathogenesis of cerebral pathologies is reviewed, and it is shown that these reactions are of key importance to the damage sustained by cellular structures of the central nervous system. Novel approaches to the management of cerebral disorders, based on the use of antioxidants, are considered.
