Furthermore, low doses of the compound diallyl trisulfide, which increases expression of the antioxidant enzymes heme oxygenase1 (HO-1) and NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase (NQO1), protects motor neurons from toxicity induced by mutant TDP-43 Q331K and TDP-43 M337V (Liu C
Noh, G., Keum, T., Bashyal, S., Seo, J.-E., Shrawani, L., Kim, J
Induction of POI was carried out in lesser doses and at certain intervals because the application of large quantities of DOX at once resulted in severe toxicity and fatal consequences 43
In vitro and animal studies have found that lipoic acid exhibits immunomodulatory properties through mechanisms that stimulate the production of cyclic AMP (cAMP) (90, 91) a central regulator of innate immune functions and inhibits the migration of immune cells into the brain and spinal cord (92), possibly by decreasing endothelial expression of cell adhesion molecules, inhibiting expression of enzymes like matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), and/or reducing the permeability of the blood-brain barrier (87, 89, 93, 94)
