Table 5 Relative mRNA concentrations of NFE2L2 (encoding Nrf2), KEAP1 and Nrf2 target genes in the liver of rats fed diets with either soybean oil or salmon oil with various vitamin E concentrations (25, 250 or 2500 mg/kg)

From: An excess dietary vitamin E concentration does not influence Nrf2 signaling in the liver of rats fed either soybean oil or salmon oil
