Abstract excerpt
Excessive release of proinflammatory cytokines by activated microglia surrounding senile plaques might contribute to the neurodegeneration associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) is a nuclear protein recently implicated in the initial inflammatory response by modulating expression of inflammation-related genes, like interleukin 1 (IL-1). As PARP-1 overactivity has been...
