Example sentences for: microglia

How can you use “microglia” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

The ionotropic AMPA glutamate receptor GluR4 subunit has been shown to be expressed by activated rat adult microglia
Microglia in the central nervous system express scavenger receptors and are involved in the oxidized LDL uptake and metabolism [ 34 ] . These cells are, thus, the macrophage-equivalent in the central nervous system [ 35 ] . Results from this laboratory showed that cholesterol oxides can cause programmed cell death in microglia [ 7 ] , which suggests that microglia, similar to macrophages, can be a potential target for oxidized LDL toxicity.
In contrast, a 6 hour pretreatment of microglia with domoic acid [1 mM], yielded no statistically significant increase in PMA [1 μM]-stimulated O 2 - generation: 2.97 ± 0.44 nmoles/2 hours (domoic acid pretreated, n = 3) vs. 1.7 ± 0.07 nmoles/2 hours (untreated controls, n = 3).
Effect of domoic acid and LPS on rat neonatal microglia release of O 2-
.. " [ 32 ] . Interestingly, because rat neonatal microglia have been shown to express BDNF [ 57 ] and bFGF [ 58 ] , and in view of the fact that LPS can affect BDNF gene expression in rat neonatal microglia cells [ 59 ] , experiments are currently underway in our laboratory to determine if domoic acid may affect neonatal rat microglia expression of both BDNF and bFGF.
