Abstract
⺠Tumor-derived hepatocytes are more prone to the cytotoxic effects of xanthohumol. ⺠Xanthohumol promotes Nrf2 activation followed by the induction of phase II enzymes. ⺠Induction of HO-1 and GST may explain the antioxidative potential of xanthohumol. ⺠Xanthohumol elevates the expression of NQO1 and promotes p53 accumulation. ⺠The induction of cytoprotective enzymes may prevent liver damage in normal tissue.
