Detailed studies in the past two decades have shown that redox active metals like iron (Fe),
copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co) and other metals undergo redox cycling reactions …

Metal-induced toxicity and carcinogenicity, with an emphasis on the generation and role of
reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, is reviewed. Metal-mediated formation of free radicals …

To estimate the impact of urbanization on wild animals, it is important to know how different
species, populations and/or individuals deal with and respond to environmental stress. Are …

Cellular stress elicited by the toxic metal Cd 2+ does not coerce the cell into committing to
die from the onset. Rather, detoxification and adaptive processes are triggered concurrently …

Apoptosis, also known as programmed cell death is a highly regulated and crucial process
found in all multicellular organisms. It is not only implicated in regulatory mechanisms of …

The cellular effects of the toxic metal cadmium (Cd) are manifold. A large proportion of the
cellular reactions affected by ionic Cd2+ are mediated by cellular signaling cascades. The …

The long-term effects of metal-on-metal arthroplasty are currently under scrutiny because of
the potential biological effects of metal wear debris. This review summarises data describing …

Metals can cause oxidative stress by increasing the formation of reactive oxygen species
(ROS), which render antioxidants incapable of defence against growing amounts of free …

Cadmium is a heavy metal that has been shown to cause its toxicity in humans and animals.
Many documented studies have shown that cadmium produces various genotoxic effects …

Occurrence of arsenic in the aquatic environment of West Bengal (India), Bangladesh and
other countries are of immediate environmental concern. In the present study, zebrafish …
