Protective effects of piceatannol against beta-amyloid-induced neuronal cell death.

abstract：:Enhanced levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) are considered to be a risk factor for pathological conditions associated with hypoxia or hyperinsulinemia. The expression of the PAI-1 gene is increased by insulin in different cells, although, the molecular mechanisms behind insulin-induced PAI-1 expressio...
