TL;DR

The combination therapy most effectively normalized oxidative balance, suppressed TNF-α, enhanced Nrf2, mitigated the expression of renal injury genes, and significantly restored the expression of key bone marrow cytokines towards control levels, concurrently improving serum creatinine, urea, and hematological profiles.

Involvement of NOD1/NF-κB/MAPK pathway in the protective effect of procyanidin B2 against methotrexate-induced nephrotoxicity

Objective Methotrexate (MTX) is a very effective agent used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and malignant diseases. Despite its usefulness, the long-term use of MTX is associated with multiorgan toxicities, including kidney injury. Thus, there is a necessity to explore a renoprotective agent with low side effects. Procya...

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate as a hepatoprotective agent against ochratoxin a: modulating ER stress and NF-κB/TNF-α/IL-6 responses

It is demonstrated that OTA-induced hepatotoxicity may be mediated, at least in part, through modulation of ER stress and NF-κB-driven inflammatory cascades, and that EGCG demonstrated dose-dependent protection by attenuating these responses.

Obeticholic Acid and Edaravone Protect Against Cisplatin‐Induced Hepatotoxicity Through Modulation of Keap1/Nrf2/ARE, TNF‐α/NF‐κB, and AKT/GSK‐3β Pathways

It is suggested that OCA and EDA, particularly in combination, attenuate CP‐induced hepatotoxicity and are associated with coordinated modulation of oxidative stress, inflammatory signaling, and AKT/GSK‐3β‐associated pro‐survival/pro‐death pathways.

Nrf2/BAX/Bcl2 Signaling Crosstalk and Histopathological Correlates of Renoprotection by Black Soldier Fly Larval Oil Against Aflatoxin B1-Induced Oxidative and Inflammatory Kidney Injury in Rats

Background Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a highly hazardous mycotoxin commonly detected in contaminated food supplies and poses serious health risks to both humans and animals. Although its hepatotoxic effects are well established, the kidney, a principal organ for toxin elimination, remains highly susceptible to AFB1-induced...
