The Emerging Role Of Nrf2 In Mitochondrial Function

By
Oxidants are generally produced in a controlled manner in order to regulate essential processes in the human body, including cell division, inflammation, immune function, autophagy, and stress response. However, the uncontrolled production of these oxidants can contribute to oxidative stress , which may affect cellular function, leading to the development of toxicity, chronic disease and cancer. The human body's protective antioxidant mechanisms are regulated by a series of vital pathways that control the cell's response to oxidants. The nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor, otherwise known as Nrf2, is an emerging regulator of cellular resistance to oxidants.
