Protective effects of RSG against TS/EC-induced oxidative stress. a Immunofluorescence and Western blotting analysis emphasizing activation of the Nrf2 pathway. b Immunofluorescence and Western blotting analysis emphasizing the effect of RSG on activation of the transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPARγ). c Concurrently, the overexpression level of downstream detoxifying molecule NQO-1 in the cells including RSG was detected. n = 3 to 4 biological replicates. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001, versus control; +++p < 0.001, ++++p < 0.0001, TS/EC versus TS/EC + RSG. WB analyses report protein/β-actin ratios
