Mechanistic Evaluation of Luteolin in Wound Healing of Diabetic Foot Ulcer via Nrf2 Signaling

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Proposed mechanism by which Luteolin (LU) promotes diabetic foot ulcer healing. LU attenuates hyperglycemia‐induced oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, improves endothelial cell viability, and suppresses ferroptosis through Nrf2‐dependent antioxidant signaling, thereby accelerating angiogenesis and wound repair. ABSTRACT Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs)
