1 Incubation of rat microglial cells with A beta(1-40) caused a significant increase in nitrite, a stable metabolite of nitric oxide (NO), in culture media, while there was no detectable increase in nitrite in astrocyte-rich glial cells or cortical neurons after incubation with A beta(1-40). Nitrites amyloid beta precursor protein Homo sapiens
2 Nitrite production by microglial cells was also induced by A beta(1-42), but not A beta(25-35). Nitrites amyloid beta precursor protein Homo sapiens
3 Among the various cytokines investigated such as interleukin-1, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), only IFN-gamma markedly enhanced A beta-dependent nitrite production. Nitrites amyloid beta precursor protein Homo sapiens
