Melatonin Attenuates Neuroinflammation by Down-Regulating NLRP3 Inflammasome via a SIRT1-Dependent Pathway in MPTP-Induced Models of Parkinson’s Disease

Abstract

In conclusion, our data demonstrated that melatonin attenuates neuroinflammation by negatively regulating NLRP3 inflammasome activation via a SIRT1-dependent pathway in MPTP-induced PD models. These findings provide novel insights into the mechanism underlying the anti-inflammatory effects of melatonin in PD.
