antiparkinson/necrosis

The emergence of glucagon-like peptide-1 as a crucial contender in modifying neurodegenerative diseases in the preclinical studies has instigated interest in investigating the antiparkinsonian effect of dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibition. Notably, saxagliptin (SAX), the DPP-4 inhibitor,

Nuclear receptor related 1 (Nurr1) orphan receptor has emerged as a promising contender in ameliorating Parkinson's disease; thus, finding a suitable activator of Nurr1 receptor is an attracting target for treating PD. Cilostazol, a phosphodiesterase-3 inhibitor, recently showed a favorable

Apoptosis is one essential step for neuronal death in the nigrostriatal region in patients with Parkinson's disease. Cytotoxic tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (Il-6) provide a proapoptotic environment. We investigated the influence of the

BACKGROUND Parkinson's disease (PD) affects an estimated 7 to 10 million people worldwide, and only symptomatic treatments are presently available to relieve the consequences of brain dopaminergic neurons loss. Neuronal degeneration in PD is the consequence of neuroinflammation in turn influenced by

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a severe disabling syndrome in which neuroinflammation and various signaling pathways are believed to mediate dopaminergic neurodegeneration. Here, the possible disease-modifying effects of the purine nucleoside inosine were examined against rotenone-induced PD. Mice were

Gliptins have been recently shown to conquer neuronal degeneration in cell cultures via modulating glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1. This peptide produced in the gut not only crosses the blood-brain barrier but is also synthesized in the brain and acts on GLP-1R exerting central anti-inflammatory and
