Acacetin inhibits neuronal cell death induced by 6-hydroxydopamine in cellular Parkinson's disease model.

TLDR
The results suggest that acacetin is a potent therapeutic agent for PD progression and could inhibit 6-OHDA-induced neuronal cell death originating from ROS-mediated cascade apoptosis pathway.

The Role of Oxidative Stress in Parkinson’s Disease

TL;DR: Animal models of PD have yielded some insights into the molecular pathways of neuronal degeneration and highlighted previously unknown mechanisms by which oxidative stress contributes to PD, but therapeutic attempts to target the general state of oxidative stress in clinical trials have failed to demonstrate an impact on disease progression.

Pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease: dopamine, vesicles and alpha-synuclein.

TL;DR: It is proposed that defective sequestration of dopamine into vesicles, leading to the generation of reactive oxygen species in the cytoplasm, is a key event in the demise of dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson's disease and might represent a common pathway that underlies both genetic and sporadic forms of the disorder.
