Popis: Mitochondria are considered the only source of energy production within cells. This organelle is vital for neural function and survival by producing energy (adenosine triphosphate (ATP)) and regulating intracellular calcium. Mitochondrial dysfunction, which significantly contributes to both idiopathic and familial types of Parkinson's disease (PD), depletes cellular energy, disrupts homeostasis, and induces oxidative stress, leading to cell death. In recent years several natural products have been discovered to be protective against mitochondrial dysfunction. This review discusses the role of mitochondria in the progression of PD to define the path for using natural products to prevent and/or cure PD.
