The protective effects of peptides from Chinese baijiu on AAPH-induced oxidative stress in HepG2 cells via Nrf2-mediated signaling pathway by Jiaying Huo, Yuezhang Ming, Huifeng Li, Anjun Li, Jiwen Zhao, Mingquan Huang, Weizheng Sun, Jihong Wu, Jinglin Zhang

“…The results showed that these peptides exerted protective effects by suppressing reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, preventing malondialdehyde (MDA) formation, and upregulating cellular antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD, CAT, and GSH-Px) in a dose-dependent manner. Further experiments proved that these peptides exerted antioxidant effects via Nrf2/ARE-mediated signaling pathway by promoting Nrf2 nuclear translocation, inhibiting ubiquitination, and enhancing transcription capacity of Nrf2 in HepG2 cells. …”
