Our results showed that during the development of NAFL and NASH, F2-isoPG levels increased and Nrf2 expression was upregulated. Our findings suggest Nrf2 may play a key role during liver steatosis, and activation of Nrf2 may protect liver from inflammation damage induced by oxidative stress.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
