TL;DR

Results showed that Cd exposure substantially downregulated BCL-2 mRNA expression, upregulated the apoptotic proteins BAX and CASPASE-3, and caused severe histopathological damage, but IRF attenuated all the above-mentioned damages and preserved hepatic tissue architecture.

Saroglitazar protects against cadmium-induced hepatorenal injury in rats by suppressing NF-κB and upregulating Nrf2

Introduction Cadmium (Cd) toxicity is one of the major public health problems because of its long half-life (10–30 years). Exposure to Cd can cause toxicity that affects several organs, including the liver and the kidney. Saroglitazar is highlighted in this study as a potential preventative medication against hepatic-r...

Kumatakenin alleviates cadmium-induced testicular toxicity by restoring steroidogenesis and suppressing oxido-inflammatory responses.

Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic compound that induces deleterious effects on living organisms and causes multi-organ toxicity, including testicular damage. Kumatakenin (KMK) is a flavonoid with potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The present study was designed to assess the protective effects of KMK...

Lycium barbarum polysaccharides alleviate cadmium-induced renal injury in ducks by activating the Nrf2-mediated antioxidant defense pathway

It is found that Cd promoted lipid accumulation, disrupted lipid metabolism, and thereby induced renal immunosuppression, and LBP effectively alleviated Cd-induced renal injury, suggesting beneficial effects against Cd-triggered nephrotoxicity.

Lycopene suppresses α-cypermethrin nephrotoxicity: An insight into its modulatory effect on oxidative stress-mediated pro-inflammation, DNA damage and caspase apoptosis in Wistar rats

Interestingly, the LYP co-administration abrogated the CPM-induced oxidative stress, proinflammation, apoptosis, and DNA fragmentation and indicates that LYP supplementation may protect the kidney from oxidative stress-related attacks of CPM.
