ABSTRACT
Neuroinflammation may be one of the causes in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease(AD).Epidemiological studies suggest that long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs)can reduce the risk of AD.Laboratory evidence indicates that the protection of NSAIDs is mediated by inhibition of cyclooxygenase(COX)activity and the non-COX mechanisms.This review summarizes the possible underlying mechanisms in the action.
