Sulforaphane prevents angiotensin II-induced cardiomyopathy by activation of Nrf2 via stimulating the Akt/GSK-3ß/Fyn pathway.

Abstract
:

Activation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) by sulforaphane (SFN) protects from, and deletion of the Nrf2 gene exaggerates, diabetic cardiomyopathy. Angiotensin II (Ang II) plays a critical role in the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Therefore, whether SFN prevents Ang II-induced cardiomyopathy through activation of Nrf2 was examined using wild-type, global deletion of Nrf2 gene (Nrf2-KO) and cardiomyocyte-specific overexpression of Nrf2 gene (Nrf2-TG) mice.
