Pteryxin treated with mouse insulinoma MIN6 cells was enhanced the antioxidant gene expressions in the ARE (antioxidant response element) region for HO-1 (Heme Oxygenase-1), GCLC (Glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit), SOD1 (Super Oxide dismutase1), and Trxr1 (Thioredoxin reductase1), and those enzymes were also expressed during the nuclei transference of cytoplasmic Nrf2. Here, GCLC is linked to pancreatic insulinoma.
