More recently, it has been demonstrated that NSC-34 cells expressing TDP-43 mutants also exhibit shortened neurites, increased OS, and decreased HO1 level, and these effects can be reversed by the UPS inhibitor MG132, but not by the Nrf2 activator sulforaphane [255, 256], probably because MG132 induction of HO1 is Nrf2 independent
SARS-CoV-2 infection has been shown to suppress Nrf2 expression in patients with COVID-19, thereby enhancing the infection severity 67

Only a small, yet significant amount is metabolised via the hepatic cytochrome P450 enzyme system (its CYP2E1 and CYP1A2 isoenzymes), which is responsible for the toxic effects of paracetamol due to a minor alkylating metabolite (N-acetyl-p-benzo-quinone imine, abbreviated as NAPQI).[17] There is a great deal of polymorphism in the P450 gene, and genetic polymorphisms in CYP2D6 have been studied extensively
