NADPH oxidase and reactive oxygen species contribute to alcohol-induced microglial activation and neurodegeneration
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Activation of microglia causes the production of proinflammatory factors and upregulation of NADPH oxidase (NOX) that form reactive oxygen species (ROS) that lead to neurodegeneration. Previously, we reported that 10 daily doses of e...
