Sulforaphane-Dependent Up-Regulation of NRF2 Activity Alleviates Both Systemic Inflammatory Response and Lung Injury After Hemorrhagic Shock/Resuscitation in Mice

In conclusion, SFN beneficially enhances pulmonary Nrf2 activity and promotes Nrf2 accumulation in AMs’ nuclei. This may exert not only local protective effects but also systemic effects via the down-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The administration of Nrf2 activator post-HS/R may represent an innovative treatment strategy.
