摘要: A series of exogenous compounds are able to protect against oxidative stress by induction phase 2 enzymes (cytoprotective proteins) through activation the redox sensitive Keap1-Nrf2-ARE regulatory pathway. Inducers cytoprotective proteins are, for example, found among polyphenols which many present in our daily diet. Polyphenol inducers either Michael acceptors or can be metabolized reactive electrophiles capable alkylating cysteine thiols Keap1 and/or induce formation cytosolic oxygen species resulting release Nrf2 followed gene transcription ARE leading proteins. Polyphenols direct antioxidants vitro, but nevertheless seem exert their antioxidant effect more that involved a variety actions from reduction oxidants production endogenous (e.g., glutathione). Therefore protection vivo is mainly due indirect effect.
