The Endotoxin-Induced Neuroinflammation Model of Parkinson's Disease by Kemal Ugur Tufekci, Sermin Genc, Kursad Genc

“…Although the exact cause of the dopaminergic neurodegeneration remains elusive, recent postmortem and experimental studies have revealed an essential role for neuroinflammation that is initiated and driven by activated microglial and infiltrated peripheral immune cells and their neurotoxic products (such as proinflammatory cytokines, reactive oxygen species, and nitric oxide) in the pathogenesis of PD. …”
