Effects of curcumin treatment on AKT and Nrf2

(A) The protein expression of Nrf2, p-AKT and AKT at different time periods of treatment with curcumin. (B) Quantification of the western blotting data from A. (C) The protein expression of total Nrf2, p-AKT, AKT and (D) cytosolic and nuclear Nrf2 in the presence or absence of an AKT inhibitor (LY294002). (E) (F) Quantification of the data from C and D. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, NS, not significant

Nrf2: Erythroid transcription factor NF-E2, AKT: Protein kinase B
