IL6 and muscular dystrophy: In order to evaluate the correlation between the temporal progression of X-ROS signaling and Nrf2-dependent antioxidant response in muscular dystrophy and to better define the pathogenic role of IL-6 in muscular dystrophy, we analysed the Nrf2-mediated antioxidant enzyme expression in the diaphragm of mdx and mdx/IL6 mice at different stages of pathology (Figure 4).
