Abstract

![CDATA[Chronic neuroinflammation (activation of microglia and astrocytes) is a prominent pathological process in many neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Consequently, it has been suggested that drugs targeting neuroinflammatory processes such as cytokine-suppressive anti-inflammatory drugs (CSAIDs) such as apigenin (major bioactive compound in parsley) might yield clinically useful disease- modifying effect for these neurodegenerative disorders. The present study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of apigenin on neuroinflammation in the glial fibrillary acidic protein-interleukin 6 (GFAPIL6) expressing mouse using both immunohistochemical and behavioral tests.]]
