Antioxidant effect of caffeic acid phenethyl ester in experimentally induced periodontitis
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antioxidant effect of systemically administered caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) in periodontitis.Forty rats were randomly divided into four groups: control, lipopolysaccharide-induced experimental periodontitis (LPS), CAPE 5: LPS+5 μmol/kg/day CAPE, and CAPE 10: LPS+10 μmol/kg/day CAPE.

Regulatory Effects of Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester on Neuroinflammation in Microglial Cells [PDF]
Microglial activation has been widely demonstrated to mediate inflammatory processes that are crucial in several neurodegenerative disorders. Pharmaceuticals that can deliver direct inhibitory effects on microglia are therefore considered as a potential strategy to counter balance neurodegenerative progression.
