Rosemary extract reverses oxidative stress through activation of Nrf2 signaling pathway in hamsters fed on high fat diet and HepG2 cells

Rosemary extract (RE), a useful component isolated from Rosmarinus officinalis L., was recently reported to protect cells against the harmful effects of ROS. However, the underlying mechanisms of this action remained unknown. We investigated the defensive effect of RE on the oxidative stress injury...
