This study explores the photoprotective effects of rutin, a bioflavonoid found in some vegetables and fruits, against UVA-induced damage in human skin fibroblasts. Our results show that rutin increases cell viability and reduces the high levels of ROS generated by photo-oxidative stress (1 and 2 h of UVA exposure). These effects are related to rutin's ability to modulate the Nrf2 transcriptional pathway. Interestingly, activation of the Nrf2 signaling pathway results in an increase in reduced glutathione and Bcl2/Bax ratio, and the subsequent protection of mitochondrial respiratory capacity...

Pathologic hyperreactive inflammatory responses occur when there is excessive activation of a proinflammatory NF-κB pathway and a reduced cytoprotective NRF2 cascade. The noncytotoxic, highly selective COX-2 inhibitory flavonol-enriched butanol fraction (UaB) from Uvaria alba ( U. alba ) was investigated for its inflammatory modulating potential by targeting NF-κB activation and NRF2 activity. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was initially performed to measure levels of proinflammatory mediators [nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E2 , and reactive oxygen species (ROS)] and cytokines [tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), IL-1β, and IL-6], followed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and western blotting to determine mRNA and protein expression, respectively...
