Fibrillar beta-amyloid peptide Aβ(1–40 )activates microglial proliferation via stimulating TNF-α release and H(2)O(2 )derived from NADPH oxidase: a cell culture study

BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the accumulation of neuritic plaques, containing activated microglia and β-amyloid peptides (Aβ). Fibrillar Aβ can activate microglia, resulting in production of toxic and inflammatory mediators like hydrogen peroxide, nitric oxide, and cytoki...
