Figure 1 Protective effects of aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 on 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal accumulation in ischemia reperfusion injury. 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) is a pivotal marker for cell damage associated with oxidative stress; its accumulation is prevented by aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) activation and the action of its agonists. An overwhelming 4-HNE accumulation may also inhibit ALDH2 action. 4-HNE: 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal.
