Nrf2 pathway

The Nrf2 pathway is a natural defense mechanism in our bodies that helps protect cells from damage caused by harmful agents like pollution, toxins, and stress. When cells experience stress, Nrf2 proteins activate and move into the cell nucleus, where they turn on genes that produce antioxidants and detoxifying enzymes. These substances neutralize harmful molecules and repair cell damage, maintaining cellular health. Overall, the Nrf2 pathway plays a crucial role in reducing oxidative stress and supporting the body's ability to defend itself against environmental and internal threats.
