Nrf2 signaling related protein alterations determined by western blotting before and after HR. (a) Nrf2 and its downstream antioxidases NQO1 and HO-1 after 6 hours of 5.5 mM or 25 mM D-glucose culture before H/R. (b) Nrf2, NQO1, and HO-1 after H/R. versus 5.5 mM control group. H/R: hypoxia/reoxygenation; Nrf2: nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2; HO-1: heme oxygenase-1; NQO1: NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1.
