Article Synopsis
- Carbonyl stress is caused by the buildup of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and is linked to diseases like diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders, including multiple sclerosis (MS).
- The study explores how dimethyl fumarate (DMF), which activates the Nrf2 pathway, can counteract carbonyl stress and protect neuronal cells from damage caused by Methylglyoxal (MGO).
- Findings show that DMF enhances glutathione levels and reduces harmful MG-H1-modified protein accumulation in cells, indicating that the Nrf2 pathway is crucial for the protective effects of DMF.
