Abstract
⺠Reportedly sulforaphane (SFN) prevents the experimental diabetic nephropathy. ⺠Here we demonstrated that SFN also prevented diabetic cardiomyopathy. ⺠SFN increased Nrf2 expression and transcription function in vitro and in vivo. ⺠Nrf2 siRNA prevented SFN protection from high glucose-induced changes in H9C2 cells. ⺠SFN cardioprotection from diabetes was long-sustained after the end of SFN treatment.
