Salvianolic Acid B (Sal B) Protects Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells from Oxidative Stress-Induced Cell Death by Activating Glutaredoxin 1 (Grx1)
Description:
The article explores Salvianolic acid B (Sal B), a natural compound, as a Grx1 inducer, which potently protected retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells from oxidative injury. Their results showed that treatment with Sal B protected primary human RPE cells from H₂O₂-induced cell damage. They found Sal B pretreatment upregulated Grx1 expression in RPE cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner.
