    Anthocyanins abrogate glutamate-induced AMPK activation, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and neurodegeneration in postnatal rat brain

    Glutamate-induced excitotoxicity, oxidative damage, and neuroinflammation are believed to play an important role in the development of a number of CNS disorders. We recently reported that a high dose of glutam...

    Ferulic Acid Rescues LPS-Induced Neurotoxicity via Modulation of the TLR4 Receptor in the Mouse Hippocampus

    Microglia play a crucial role in the inflammatory brain response to infection. However, overactivation of microglia is neurotoxic. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is involved in microglial activation via lipopolys...
