Cardamonin protects against diabetic cardiomyopathy by activating macrophage NRF2 signaling through molecular interaction with KEAP1

Food Funct., 2024, 15,11083-11095
DOI: 10.1039/D4FO03543G, Paper
Wenshan Nan, Jialin Yin, Wenhao Hao, Huali Meng, Junduo Wu, Xiao Yin, Hao Wu
Cardamonin inhibited macrophage M1 polarization in diabetic cardiomyopathy by binding to KEAP1, leading to the dissociation of NRF2 from KEAP1. This promoted NRF2 nuclear translocation and antioxidant gene expression in M1 polarized macrophages.
