Cadmium Toxicity: Oxidative Stress, Inflammation and Tissue Injury
(
Scientific Research Publishing
, 2019 , Article Review)
Cadmium is a known environmental pollutant targeting various organs. Often implicated in cadmium toxicology is the formation of reactive oxygen species, overwhelming the free radical scavenging mechanisms and inducing ...
Cadmium, an Environmental Contaminant with a Potential Role In Modulating Cardiac Matrix Metalloproteinases
(2020 , Master Thesis)
Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal that is found in the environment from
both natural and anthropogenic sources. It is a xenobiotic environmental pollutant
with no known essential biological functions. Exposure to ...
Cadmium-induced endothelial dysfunction mediated by asymmetric dimethylarginine.
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
Cadmium (Cd) is a naturally occurring toxic heavy metal with no known essential biological functions. Exposure to Cd increases the risk of cardiovascular disease by disrupting vascular homeostasis at the endothelium. The ...
Cadmium: An Emerging Role in Adipose Tissue Dysfunction
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article Review)
Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal that is widespread in the environment due to the substantial anthropogenic inputs from the agriculture and industrial sectors. The toxic impact of Cd adversely affects human health and ...
Chronic Cadmium Exposure Alters Cardiac Matrix Metalloproteinases in the Heart of Sprague-Dawley Rat
(
Frontiers Media
, 2021 , Article)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of chronic cadmium exposure in modulating cardiac matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in the heart of rats. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 15 ppm CdCl2 in drinking ...
Gut Microbiota Dysbiosis in Cafeteria Diet Fed Sprague Dawley Rats
(
Scientific Research Publishing
, 2018 , Article)
Diet plays a major role in the body physiology and metabolism. The quantity,
nature and stability of the macronutrients present in the diet have a major impact on the composition of gut microbiota. Gut microbiota plays a ...
ANIMAL MODEL FOR CHILDHOOD OBESITY
(2017 , Poster)
Obesity has been recognized as a global health problem and linked with chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular syndromes, musculoskeletal disorders and some cancers. Children exposed to high
carbohydrate, ...
ENDOTHELIAL NITRIC OXIDE ACTIVITY & BIOAVAILABILITY DURING OBESITY CONDITIONS
(2017 , Poster)
Obesity has been recognized as a pandemic and linked with several metabolic dysfunctions. One of the hallmarks in the onset of obesity is the development of hypertension coupled with endothelial dysfunction. (ED) A fundamental ...
