Morin enhances hepatic Nrf2 expression in a liver fibrosis rat model.

CONCLUSION: Morin could play a protective role by inducing the expression of Nrf2 and its downstream antioxidant factors (HO-1 and NQO1) and reducing the expression of α-SMA, collagen I, and collagen III in CCl4-induced liver fibrosis rats.
