Diosgenin Prevents Microglial Activation and Protects Dopaminergic Neurons from Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Neural Damage In Vitro and In Vivo

Background: The prevention of age-related neurodegenerative disorders is an important issue in an aging society. Microglia-mediated neuroinflammation resulting in dopaminergic neuron loss may lead to the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), an endotoxin, induces neuroi...
