GMG-ITC treatment promotes Nrf-2 activity and reduces PARP-1 activity. Nrf2 IHC localization shows a negative expression in brain sections sampled from untreated SOD1tg rats (a), while GMG-ITC administration stimulates Nrf2 nuclear activity (b) preserving tissue damage by prooxidative gene expression. PARP-1 immunodetection shows a positive staining in untreated SOD1tg rats (c) and an IHC negative localization in GMG-ITC treated SOD1tg rats (d).
