Abstract excerpt
In diabetes, persistent hyperglycemia generates excess reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidative stress (OS). In response to OS, transcription factors (TFs) Nrf2 and FoxO1 get activated, which induce the expression of antioxidant enzymes catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). It is well documented that the antioxidant response in diabetic individuals is very low. Since Nrf2 and FoxO1 are the...
