Activation of the redox-sensitive transcription factor, nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB), plays a central role in inflammation and aging processes by inducing pro-inflammatory genes. The present study was designed to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying the anti-inflammation effects of 3-methyl-1,2-cyclopentanedione (3-MCP)
