The protective roles of eugenol on type 1 diabetes mellitus through NRF2-mediated oxidative stress pathway by Yalan Jiang, Pingping He, Ke Sheng, Yongmiao Peng, Huilan Wu, Songwei Qian, Weiping Ji, Xiaoling Guo, Xiaoou Shan

“…In this study, we established the streptozotocin (STZ)-induced T1DM mouse model in vivo and STZ-induced pancreatic β cell MIN6 cell model in vitro to investigate the protective effects of EUG on T1DM, and tried to elucidate its potential mechanism. Our findings demonstrated that the intervention of EUG could effectively induce the activation of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (NRF2), leading to an up-regulation in the expressions of downstream proteins NQO1 and HMOX1, which are regulated by NRF2. …”
