Ferulic acid attenuates oxidative DNA damage and inflammatory responses in microglia induced by benzo(a)pyrene

Over-activation of microglia disrupts the physiological homeostasis of the brain, and induces inflammatory response and other processes which are implicated in neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, theoretically, suppression of neuroinflammation would slow the progression of neurodegenerative disease. In this study, we investigated the possible protective effects of Ferulic acid (FA) against benzo(a)pyrene (BaP)-induced microglial activation...
