    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 102:9936-41. 2005
    ..Our results reveal a role for NADPH oxidase in LPS-induced OL death and suggest that peroxynitrite produced by iNOS and NADPH oxidase in activated microglia may play an important role in the pathogenesis of white matter disorders...
  67. ncbi The relationship of CSF and plasma cytokine levels to cerebral white matter injury in the premature newborn
    Vanessa J Ellison
    Neonatal Medicine, Royal Women's Hospital, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
    Pediatr Res 57:282-6. 2005
    ..Plasma cytokine concentrations may not reflect CSF cytokine levels or inflammatory events within the brain. Elevated CSF levels of cytokines in infants with white matter injury suggest an altered inflammatory balance...
  68. ncbi Nitric oxide-induced cell death in developing oligodendrocytes is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis-inducing factor translocation
