Eckol Enhances Heme Oxygenase-1 Expression through Activation of Nrf2/JNK Pathway in HepG2 Cells

Eckol isolated from Ecklonia stolonifera was previously reported to exhibit cytoprotective activity with its intrinsic antioxidant activity in in vitro studies. In this study, we characterized the mechanism underlying the eckol-mediated the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). Eckol suppressed the...
