Inflammatory markers, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dynamics: Repercussions on coronary artery disease in diabetes

Figure 1 Activation of nuclear factor kappa B by reactive oxygen species modulates inflammatory responses. Illustrative scheme demonstrating the activation of the nuclear factor kappa B transcription factor by reactive oxygen species and its modulation in inflammatory responses in vascular smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells, and macrophages. FIS: Fission protein; MFN: Mitofusins; NO: Nitric oxide; PBM: Photobiomodulation; ROS: Reactive oxygen species; NF-κB: Nuclear factor-kappa B.
