Changes in these macromolecules are involved in myriad pathological changes and progression of diseases, especially neurodegenerative diseases (NDD). NDD are usually featured by progressive neuron loss, accompanied with inclusions in neurons or glial cells. In NDD, glial cells may play a vital role in the functioning of neurons and cellular survival through an antioxidant way. Conversely, neurons could modulate the activities of glia in different ways. In this review, the main purposes were to summarize the characteristics and functions of glial cells in Huntington’s disease (HD). The connection between oxidative stress and HD, and state the cross talk between these interactive elements were also discussed.
