Luteolin Pretreatment Attenuates Hepatic Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Mice by Inhibiting Inflammation, Autophagy, and Apoptosis via the ERK/PPARα Pathway

Figure 7

Probable mechanisms of luteolin against HIRI. Hepatic IR injury will activate Kupffer cells, thus producing several inflammatory cytokines, including IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α. Luteolin pretreatment can inhibit this process to alleviate liver injury. Luteolin can additionally regulate autophagy and apoptosis through ERK/PPARα pathway.
