It downregulates mitochondrial membrane potential, causing pro-apoptotic factors such as Bax, Bid, and Bak to bind to the mitochondrial membrane, disrupt it, release Cytc, and activate Caspase-9, which then activates Caspase-3, inducing cell death (148)
Intramuscular exposure to a lethal dose of ricin toxin leads to endothelial glycocalyx shedding and microvascular flow abnormality in mice and swine
The traditional view posits that microglia activated around senile plaques accelerate disease progression by releasing ROS, neurotoxins, and pro-inflammatory cytokines, thereby directly linking A deposition to neurodegeneration (145, 146)
