We found that the REAC tissue optimization treatment specific for neuro-regenerative purposes(REAC TO-RGN-N) attenuated the inflammatory picture evoked by MPTP-induced nigro-striatal damage inmice, decreasing the levels of pro-inflammatory molecules and increasing anti-inflammatory mediators. Besides, there was a significant reduction of both astrocyte and microglial activation in MPTP-treated mice exposed to REAC TORGN-N. These results indicated that REAC TO-RGN-N treatment modulates the pro-inflammatory responses and reduces neuronal damage in MPTP-induced parkinsonism.展开更多
