Changes in the Nrf2/Keap1 Ratio and PON1 Concentration in Plasma of Patients Undergoing the Left Main Coronary Artery Stenting

Figure 5

(a) Spearman correlation between Nrf2 and Keap1 during the perioperative LMPCI procedure. A negative correlation between Keap1 and Nrf2 especially the day after PCI procedure suggests the reflection of the affinity of Keap1 to Nrf2 in the postinduction phase switching off the Nrf2 activity. (b) Concentration of Nrf1 and Keap1 measured perioperatively during the LMPCI procedure presented as median with SD. The course of Nrf2 concentration shows an upward trend observed immediately after LMPCI and decreases within 24 hours after treatment. The course of Keap1 concentration is similar to that of Nrf2, with the decrease observed in 24 hours after the treatment being statistically significant ().
