Abstract

Brain injury comes from various pathological conditions. Among those, acute brain injuries such as trauma and ischemia are mainly caused in the oxidative stress of brain cells. Labile zinc accumulation in the brain significantly contributes to oxidative brain injury. On the other hand, neurodegenerative diseases including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson’s (PD), Alzheimer’s (AD), and Huntington’s (HD) are caused by progressive loss of structure or function of neurons. Different neurodegenerative disorders show many parallels including atypical protein assemblies as well as induced cell death
