Inhibition of TLR4 Signalling-Induced Inflammation Attenuates Secondary Injury after Diffuse Axonal Injury in Rats by Yonglin Zhao, Yahui Zhao, Ming Zhang, Junjie Zhao, Xudong Ma, Tingqin Huang, Honggang Pang, Jiaxi Li, Jinning Song

“…The neuroprotective effects of TLR4 inhibition were associated with decreases in the levels of TLR4 downstream signalling molecules and inflammatory factors, including interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, and tumour necrosis factor-α. These results suggest that the TLR4 signalling pathway plays an important role in secondary injury and may be an important therapeutic target following DAI.…”
