Professor of the Department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology Volodymyr Lushchak in collaboration with Graziano Pinna (USA) and Hanna Kmita (Poland) published a review “Potential oxidative stress related targets of mitochondria-focused therapy of PTSD” in Frontiers in Physiology (IF = 4.0). The review discusses the role of mitochondrial dysfunction caused by chronic oxidative stress as well as the mechanisms by which this condition can contribute to the development of post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms and possible therapeutic targets for reducing oxidative stress to prevent or treat PTSD symptoms.
The authors of the publication also expressed their gratitude to Tetiana Dmytriv, a leading specialist of the Department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, for her help with graphic materials for the article.
