Abstract excerpt
The activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome is critical to inducing microglial activation and pyroptosis following cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Suppressing the neurotoxicity of activated microglia has become an effective approach for treating cerebral I/R injury. Rhein is an anthraquinone compound found in rheum, and possesses anti-inflammatory, antagonistic, and antifibrotic effects. This study assessed...
