Key Points
Morphine significantly reduced oxidative stress and inflammatory responses in microglia cells.
Inhibition of TRPM2 by morphine led to lower levels of apoptotic markers and cytokines in response to LPS.
Assessment using BV-2 microglia highlighted morphine's neuroprotective effects against LPS-induced injury.
Findings suggest that morphine could be a potential therapeutic option for neuroinflammatory disorders.
