In mixed glial cell cultures from cerebral cortices of newborn rats, endotoxin induces inducible nitric oxide (iNOS), nitric oxide (NO), and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) production in microglial cells. Earlier we demonstrated that endotoxin induced iNOS but not IL-1 beta expression in microglial c
In a number of pathological states of the brain, the activation of the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) plays a major role. Interleukin (IL)-1 is believed to be an essential factor in the induction of iNOS. However, little is known about the cascade of events culminating in iNOS expression in
The activity of microglial cells is strictly controlled in order to maintain central nervous system (CNS) immune privilege. We hypothesized that several immunomodulatory factors present in the CNS parenchyma, i.e., the Th2-derived cytokines interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-10, interleukin-1-receptor-antago
## Abstract β‐escin, a triterpene saponin, is one of the major active compounds extracted from horse chestnut (__Aesculus hippocastanum__) seed. Previous work has found that β‐escin sodium has antiinflammatory and antitumor effects. In the present study, we investigated its effect on cell prolifera
