The role of nuclear factor-erythroid 2 related factor 2 (Nrf-2) in the protection against lung injury

Clinicopathological significance of nuclear factor 1 ( erythroid - 2 ) - related factor 2 ( Nrf 2 ) expression in gastric

The Effect of Black Seed Oil as Adjuvant Therapy on Nuclear Factor Erythroid 2-Related Factor 2 Levels in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome Risk

Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is one of the transcription factors involved in providing endogenous antioxidants. Black seed oil (BSO), suspected have antioxidant effects that can be used to modulate the expression and levels of Nrf2. The study aims to determine the effect of BSO as adjuvant therapy on levels of Nrf2 to the patients with metabolic syndrome risk. The re...

Resveratrol Preconditioning Protects Against Cerebral Ischemic Injury via Nuclear Erythroid 2-Related Factor 2.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Nuclear erythroid 2 related factor 2 (Nrf2) is an astrocyte-enriched transcription factor that has previously been shown to upregulate cellular antioxidant systems in response to ischemia. Although resveratrol preconditioning (RPC) has emerged as a potential neuroprotective therapy, the involvement of Nrf2 in RPC-induced neuroprotection and mitochondrial reactive oxygen s...

Myeloid deletion of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 increases atherosclerosis and liver injury.

OBJECTIVE To determine the impact of hematopoietic deletion of nuclear factor- (erythroid-derived 2) like 2 factor (Nrf2) on the development of atherosclerosis and liver injury in an obese, hypercholesterolemic mouse model. METHODS AND RESULTS Two-month-old male low-density lipoprotein receptor-deficient mice were lethally irradiated and transplanted with either wild type or Nrf2-deficient (N...

Role of Nuclear Factor Erythroid 2-Related Factor 2 in Diabetic Nephropathy

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is manifested as increased urinary protein level, decreased glomerular filtration rate, and final renal dysfunction. DN is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease worldwide and causes a huge societal healthcare burden. Since satisfied treatments are still limited, exploring new strategies for the treatment of this disease is urgently needed. Oxidative stress takes...
