Inflammaging: should this term be suitable for age related macular degeneration too?
Altogether these factors also drive this pathologic condition under the general heading of "Inflammaging".
This study demonstrates that 6-mp interposes the production of IL-1 and TNF-alpha in CSF and serum, attenuates ischemic brain injury, and thus alleviates neurological deficits in the pMCAO animals. These findings also offer first evidence that 6-mp may attenuate TNF-alpha-related neuron apoptosis and also support the notion that 6-mp and other anti-inflammatory agents could potentially have therapeutic uses in cases of cerebral infarct.
