  • Plant-Derived Compound Lowers Toxicity, Cell Death In Parkinson’s Cell Model

    According to new research, a plant-derived compound called perillyl alcohol restored cell survival and lowered oxidative stress and DNA damage in a cell model of Parkinson’s disease. For cells to create energy, they “breathe” oxygen received by the food we eat and the air we breathe, and as a result, reactive molecules are created. These residual molecules are the free radicals responsible for oxidative stress.
