| Abstract;Flavonoids and monophenolic compounds have been well described in recent years as antioxidants and scavengers of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. In the present study, we aimed to characterize the effects of long-term administration of ferulic acid on the centrally administered .BETA.-amyloid peptide (A.BETA.)1-42-induced activation of microglial cells in mice. A.BETA.1-42 increased the immunoreactivity of OX-42, a microglial marker, and interferon-.GAMMA. in the hippocampus at 8 h after the intracerebroventricular injection. The effects were suppressed by long-term (4-week) pretreatment with ferulic acid. This inhibition of microglial cell activation may underlie the beneficial effects of long-term administration of ferulic acid on A.BETA.1-42-induced toxicity in vivo. (author abst.) |
