How does vitamin C deficiency mechanistically link to neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration pathways?

OPEN

The study shows vitamin C deficiency worsens TNF-α-induced inflammation and insulin resistance, but doesn't explore connections to neuroinflammation or neurodegenerative processes. Given that insulin resistance and chronic inflammation are key drivers of neurodegeneration, understanding vitamin C's neuroprotective mechanisms could reveal therapeutic targets. Gap type: open_question Source paper: Vitamin C deficiency aggravates tumor necrosis factor α-induced insulin resistance. (2018, European journal of pharmacology, PMID:29625084)
