Effect of substances on the central nervous system. The effect of the different substances varies according to the dose and the time of consumption/exposure, as well as with epigenetics, biological rhythm, and the environment. (DHA: docosahexaenoic acid)
Future studies should also examine the deficiencies in other DNA repair processes and the inhibitory effect of diseases linked to metal ions. Understanding how DNA repair deficiency occurs and affects the nervous system could provide a rational basis for therapies in neurodegenerative diseases.
