17. Cytochrome P450 2E1 - relevance for central dopamine neurotransmission and Parkinson's disease
Abstract : Introduction: The enzyme cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) has been found in dopamine (DA) containing brain regions that are of relevance for Parkinson?s disease (PD), and is known to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), toxic molecules that have been implicated in the degeneration of DA neurones.
