A meta-analysis of cognitive impairment and decline associated with adjuvant chemotherapy in women with breast cancer
This cascade of oxidative damage to proteins, lipids, and DNA highlights the interconnected pathways through which NO affects neural integrity ( 6.2.2 Excitotoxicity NO acts as a noncompetitive inhibitor of NMDAR, disrupting their regulatory role in synaptic plasticity, memory, and learning (Wu et al., 2021)
For example, while enhanced expression of Nrf2 can reduce ROS levels and decrease stress responses (Suzuki et al., 2013), the activation of Nrf2 minimizes cancer cell sensitivity to conventional cancer treatments (e.g., chemotherapy and radiation) (DeNicola et al., 2011)
