Table 2 Interrelationship of p-Nrf2 and Ki67 expression in normal pancreatic ducts and PanINs, initial scores were dichotomized by the median score and refitted into 2 groups of low and high expression

From: The anti-oxidative transcription factor Nuclear factor E2 related factor-2 (Nrf2) counteracts TGF-β1 mediated growth inhibition of pancreatic ductal epithelial cells -Nrf2 as determinant of pro-tumorigenic functions of TGF-β1
