Nrf2-related gene expressions for cellular defense mechanisms against ROS. Nrf2, a transcription factor as a master regulator of the cellular redox homeostasis, and SOD1 and NQO1, Nrf2 downstream target genes, were investigated using real-time PCR analysis. Data are represented as fold changes compared to the mRNA level in control, and shown as mean ± SD values (n = 6). Asterisk (*) indicates a significant difference compared with the control (p < 0.05). Sharp (#) indicates a significant difference among the experimental groups (p < 0.05).
