Quercetin Inhibits Pyroptosis in Diabetic Cardiomyopathy through the Nrf2 Pathway by Zhang Wei, Zhou Jing, Kang Pinfang, Shi Chao, Qian Shaohuan

“…We evaluated the protective effects of quercetin against diabetic cardiomyopathy by analyzing the expression of pyroptosis pathway proteins, myocardial cell apoptosis rate, degree of myocardial fibrosis, and serum inflammatory indices in the hearts of model rats with diabetes. We evaluated the expression of Nrf2 in the nucleus of cardiomyocytes and H9C2 cells to clarify the role of quercetin in promoting the nuclear translocation of Nrf2. …”
