BBR inhibits Nrf2 nuclear translocation. (A) Representative IHC analysis of Nrf2 in the livers of HFD rats treated with BBR or vehicle for 16 weeks. (B) Immunofluorescence staining for Nrf2 (red) and nuclei (blue, DAPI) in Huh7 cells treated with FFA and BBR. (C) Quantification of cells positive for nuclear Nrf2. The average percentages of cells with Nrf2 in nucleus were quantified from a randomly selected pool of 3–6 fields in each group. (D) Western blots for Nrf2-enriched fractions in Huh7 cells treated with FFA and BBR. The results are expressed as the mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05 vs control, #p < 0.05 vs FFA.
