Cellular and Molecular Mediators of Neuroinflammation in the Pathogenesis of Parkinson’s Disease by Sandeep Vasant More, Hemant Kumar, In Su Kim, Soo-Yeol Song, Dong-Kug Choi

“…Although microglia forms the first line of defense for the neural parenchyma, uncontrolled activation of microglia may directly affect neurons by releasing various molecular mediators such as inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin [IL]-6, and IL-1β), nitric oxide, prostaglandin E2, and reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. Moreover, recent studies have reported that activated microglia phagocytose not only damaged cell debris but also intact neighboring cells. …”

Activity of photosynthetic pigments and the antioxidant system in sunflower under drought stress by D. G. Fedorova, N. M. Nazarova, B. S. Ukenov

“…The degree of POL accumulation in the impact groups of the experiment was found to be many times higher than the values in the control samples, which was confirmed by a rapid increase in the MDA concentration in response to a growing water shortage. The accumulation of oxygen free radicals triggered the mechanisms of antioxidant protection of seedlings by synthesizing catalase, the concentration of which increased proportionally to the accumulation of POL. …”
