Pioglitazone activates paraoxonase-2 in the brain: A novel neuroprotective mechanism.

abstract：:Myasthenia gravis (MG) with antibodies against the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) is characterized by a chronic, fatigable weakness of voluntary muscles. The production of autoantibodies involves the dysregulation of T cells which provide the environment for the development of autoreactive B cells. The symptoms are cau...
