Obesity aggravates neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative effects of bisphenol A in female rats.

Bisphenol A (BPA), a common plasticizer, is categorized as a neurotoxic compound. Its impact on individuals exhibits sex-linked variations. Several biological and environmental factors impact the degree of toxicity.

Downregulation of ATF-4 Attenuates the Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress-Mediated Neuroinflammation and Cognitive Impairment in Experimentally Induced Alzheimer's Disease Model.

Protein aggregation is invariably associated with the inflammation as a factor in Alzheimer's disease (AD). We investigated the interaction between downstream factors of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress pathway and inflammation, with implications in cognitive impairment in AD. Amyloid-β (Aβ) was administered by bilateral intracerebroventricular (icv) injection in the brain of adult male Wistar rats to experimentally develop AD.
