The effects of diabetes and myocardial IRI on ferroptosis and NRF2 pathway. A Basic characteristics of diabetic rats. Water intake and food consumption were the average value of 8 weeks. Body weight and plasma glucose were recorded before inducing myocardial ischemia–reperfusion. B Intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test and oral glucose tolerance test of diabetic rats. C Representative M-mode images by echocardiography. D Infarct size was detected by TTC. E The levels of CK-MB and LDH in serum were detected. F Histopathological changes of myocardium were detected by HE staining. G The protein levels of NRF2, FPN1, ACSL4, and GPX4 in myocardial tissue were detected by western blot. H The mRNA levels of NRF2, ACSL4, and GPX4 in myocardial tissue were detected by qRT-PCR. The results are expressed as the means ± SD. N = 8 for each group. **P < 0.05 vs. NS group. ##P < 0.05 vs. NIR group. &&P < 0.05 vs. DS group. IPGTT intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test, OGTT oral glucose tolerance test
