4.2.2.2 Notoginsenoside R1 (NGR1) NGR1 is a novel saponin from Panax notoginseng, a TCM for the adjuvant treatment of DKD (210),which demonstrated that NGR1 treatment increased serum lipids in db/db mice, reduced AGE-induced mitochondrial damage, limited the increase in ROS, reduced apoptosis in HK-2 cells, promoted the expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2) and heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) to abrogate apoptosis-inducing and TGF- signaling by ROS, attenuated histological abnormalities in the kidney, reduced glomerular volume in DKD, inhibited oxidative stress-induced apoptosis and renal fibrosis, and delayed DKD (211)
In its reduced state, it can donate electrons to neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS) and other free radicalshelping prevent oxidative damage to lipids, proteins, and cellular membranes
