NQO1 and hereditary elliptocytosis: Additionally, we demonstrated that the expression levels of inflammation-related proteins (GFAP, TNF-α, and CD11b) and oxidative stress-related proteins (HO1, NQO1, Bax, and ferritin) were significantly reduced by HE in the TA and GC of hSOD1G93A mice compared with those of the control mice.
