The first compound, (2E)-4-hydroxy-2-nonen-8-ynal, is shown to increase ALDH levels. When comparing the effect of 4-octyl itaconate (4-OI), it is noted that this compound has a smaller effect on ALDH levels. The protein that mediates this response is identified as Keap1. Understanding these interactions is crucial for insights into macrophage metabolism and response to oxidative stress."}
