The potential threat of cadmium (Cd)-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is increasing. In this study, our primary goal was to investigate the individual roles played by mTOR complexes, specifically mTORC1 and mTORC2, in Cd-induced apoptosis in mouse kidney cells. We constructed a mouse model with specific deletion of Raptor/Rictor renal cells.

This study explored the therapeutic efficacy of and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) synthesized using a extract to alleviate cadmium-induced nephrotoxicity in Wistar rats. Sub-acute toxicity assessments of (100 mg/kg, 1000 mg/kg, and 4000 mg/kg) and Ag NPs (2 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg) did not find any significant difference, compared with untreated control rats ( = 3 animals/group). Then, the adult Wistar rats were divided into one control (untreated/unexposed) and six experimental groups ( = 5/group): Ag NPs alone, alone, exposure to 50 mg/kg CdCl in drinking water for 35 days, exposure to CdCl for 35 days followed by treatment with 0.

Icariin (ICA), an active ingredient found in Epimedium, possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and has garnered widespread attention in recent years. This study investigated the protective effects of ICA against cadmium (Cd)-induced kidney injury in rats. Healthy male specific pathogen-free Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a control group, Cd group, a low-dose ICA group, a middle-dose ICA group, and a high-dose ICA group using a random number table.

Heavy metals are environmental pollutants that can harm animals and humans even at low concentrations. Cadmium (Cd) is known for its serious health effects on different organs and its toxicity is associated with oxidative stress (OS) and inflammation. Farnesol (FAR), a sesquiterpene alcohol found in many vegetables and fruits, possesses promising anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities.

This study explores the therapeutic potential of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) synthesized using a extract in mitigating cadmium-induced hepatotoxicity in Wistar rats. Given the increasing environmental and health concerns associated with cadmium exposure, novel and eco-friendly therapeutic strategies are essential. Ag NPs were characterized using X-ray diffraction, UV-Vis spectrometry, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy with scanning electron microscopy, confirming their formation with a cubic crystal structure and particle sizes ranging from 4.
