Curcumin Mitigates Malathion-Induced Renal Injury: Suppression of Apoptosis and Modulation of NF-κβ/TNF-α and Nrf2, and HO-1 Signaling.

Malathion is one of the most used organophosphorus pesticides that is used for many reasons such as agriculture and industry. Human exposure to malathion may occur through various means, such as eating food that has been treated with it. Malathion not only increases oxidative stress but also decreases the antioxidant capacity.

Cardioprotective effect of abscisic acid in a rat model of type 3 cardio-renal syndrome: Role of NOX-4, P-53, and HSP-70.

Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is a complex heart and kidney pathophysiologic disorder that leads to a bidirectional interrelationship between them. Abscisic acid (ABA) is a phytohormone that is present in plants, and is known to regulate fundamental physiological functions. This study aimed to explore the efficacy of ABA in surgically induced-CRS type 3 rats.
