Abstract:
... Exogenous toxicants (e.g. arsenic, cigarette smoke), trigger oxidative stress, and initiate the pathogenesis of many human diseases. Induction of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) counteract exogenous toxicant-induced oxidative insults. Using a high-throughput screen, we firstly identified a citrus polymethoxyflavone, (2S)-5,6,7,3',4'-pentamethoxyflavanone (PMF), to be an Nrf2 activator, a ...

The results show well-defined large-scale atmospheric pollution by this toxic element in the northern hemisphere, beginning as early as the 18th century. The most striking feature is an abrupt, unprecedented enrichment factor (EF) peak in the late 1890s, with an ...
