Dl-3-n-Butylphthalide Rescues Dopaminergic Neurons in Parkinson’s Disease Models by Inhibiting the NLRP3 Inflammasome and Ameliorating Mitochondrial Impairment
BackgroundNeuroinflammation and mitochondrial impairment play important roles in the neuropathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD). The activation of NLRP3 inflammasome and the accumulation of α-synuclein (α-Syn) are strictly correlated to neuroinflammation. Therefore, the regulation of NLRP3 inflam...
