The role of Nrf2 in the attenuation of cardiovascular disease

Danielle J Reuland et al. Exerc Sport Sci Rev. 2013 Jul.

Abstract

Oxidative stress is a component of many human diseases, including cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Exercise and various phytochemicals activate nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2), the master regulator of antioxidant defenses, and attenuate CVD. This review highlights Nrf2 regulation by exercise and phytochemicals and the role of Nrf2 as a therapeutic target in CVD.
