The dualistic role of these cells results from the fact that various states of their activation are associated with specific phenotypes. The M1 phenotype is responsible for the production of proinflammatory mediators, whereas the M2 microglia release anti-inflammatory and trophic factors and take part in immunosuppressive and neuroprotective processes. The histone deacetylase inhibitor sodium butyrate (SB) shows anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects in some animal models of brain injury.
