Figure 3From: Sulforaphane prevention of diabetes-induced aortic damage was associated with the up-regulation of Nrf2 and its down-stream antioxidantsPreventive effect of SFN on diabetes-induced aortic fibrosis. Aortic fibrosis was examined by immunohistochemical staining for the expression of CTGF (A) and TGF-β1 (B), followed with semi-quantitative analysis. Data were presented as means ± SD (n = 6). *, p < 0.05 vs. control; #, p < 0.05 vs. DM. Bar = 50 μM.Back to article page
