Constitutively active microglial populations limit anorexia induced by the food contaminant deoxynivalenol
Abstract Microglia are involved in neuroinflammatory processes during diverse pathophysiological conditions.To date, the possible contribution of these cells to deoxynivalenol (DON)-induced brain inflammation and anorexia has not yet been evaluated.DON, one of the most abundant trichothecenes found in cereals, has been implicated in mycotoxicosis i
