Figure 1 Proposed mechanisms of action of LPD that may reduce NF-kB activation and increasing expression of Nrf2. CAT, catalase; GPx, glutathione peroxidase; GSTs, glutathione S-transferase; HO-1, heme oxygenase-1; IL, interleukin; IS, indoxyl sulfate; LPD, low protein diet; NADPH, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate; NF-kB, nuclear factor Kappa B; NQO-1, quinone oxidoreductase 1; Nrf2, nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2; PCS, p-cresyl sulfate; ROS, reactive oxygen species; SOD, superoxide dismutase.
