Vitexin protects against high glucose-induced endothelial cell apoptosis and oxidative stress via Wnt/β-catenin and Nrf2 signalling pathway

Our investigation demonstrated that vitexin protected HUVECs from high glucose-induced injury via up-regulation of Wnt/β-catenin and Nrf2 signalling pathway. These results suggested that vitexin might serve as a potential drug for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular complications of diabetes.
