tert-Butylhydroquinone Treatment Alleviates Contrast-Induced Nephropathy in Rats by Activating the Nrf2/Sirt3/SOD2 Signaling Pathway

Figure 8

t-BHQ increased cell viability in CIN-induced oxidative injury in HK-2 cells. HK-2 cells were infected by si-Nrf2 and then treated with 50 mg/ml ioversol for 24 h to induce oxidative stress. Data were expressed as the . versus the si-control group; & versus the si-control+ioversol group; # versus the si-control+t-BHQ+ioversol group.
