| dc.description.abstract | Background: Parkinson's disease is the most common neurodegenerative disorder affecting more
than 10 million people worldwide. This disease is characterized by progressive dopaminergic neuron
damage in the substantia nigra. This damage can be triggered by aging and the presence of oxidative
stress because of free radicals. Antioxidants can inhibit the formation of free radicals and reduce
oxidative stress, so they can be used as an alternative treatment for Parkinson's disease.
Objective: This review article aimed to provide information about the antioxidant effects of selected
herbal plants on Parkinson's disease.
Method: This study used literature study methods sourced from national and international scientific
journals published in the last 5 years (2016-2020). Literature search were carried out using
databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed®, ScienceDirect, and Garuda Portal.
Results: The high content of antioxidants in plants could protect nerve cells from oxidative damage
and reduce symptoms such as tremors, muscle stiffness, impaired coordination and motor balance in
test animals.
Conclusion: Natural antioxidants from herbal plants proved to be able to prevent oxidative stress
caused by free radicals and reduce symptoms of Parkinson's disease. | en_US |
