H/R treatment elevates Nrf2 activation and HO-1 expression in pregnant db/+ mice. Western blot analysis of (A) total and nuclear protein levels of Nrf2, and (B) HO-1 protein level in maternal liver tissues of wild type, db/+ control and db/+ H/R mice on GD 20. Representative images of the blots, from three independent biological repeats, were shown, with quantification indicated as relative to the loading control below each blot as mean ± s.d.
