Ezetimibe acts as a potent Nrf2 activator without causing cytotoxicity.
Ezetimibe-induced Nrf2 activation is mainly dependent on phosphorylation of p62.
AMPK is required for ezetimibe-induced phosphorylation of p62 and Nrf2 activation.
Ezetimibe protects mice from nonalcoholic steatohepatitis through Nrf2 activation.
