Prevention of Diabetic Nephropathy by Sulforaphane: Possible Role of Nrf2 Upregulation and Activation

<table>SFN upregulated renal expression of Nrf2 and its downstream genes at protein level.  Nrf2 (a) and its downstream genes, NQO1 (b), HO-1 (c), SOD1 (d), SOD2 (e), and CAT (f) expression in protein level was detected by Western blotting assay. Data were presented as means ± SD (<i>n</i> = 6 at least).  (*<i>P</i> &lt;  0.05 versus control; <sup>#</sup><i>P</i> &lt; 0.05 versus DM group).</table>
