Antioxidants as Neuroprotective Agents Oxidative stress is a major contributor to neuronal damage, making antioxidants important neuroprotective agents. Free radicals can damage DNA, proteins, and lipids within neurons, leading to dysfunction and death. Antioxidant neuroprotective agents work by neutralizing reactive oxygen species or enhancing endogenous antioxidant systems. Some compounds support enzymes that naturally defend against oxidative damage. Neurons are particularly vulnerable to oxidative stress due to their high metabolic demand. Supporting antioxidant defenses may help maintain neuronal integrity during aging and disease. Reference - https://www.marketresearchfuture.com/reports/neuroprotective-agents-market-43126
