Cadmium is a toxic agent that it is also an environmental contaminant. Cadmium exposure
may be implicated in some humans disorders related to hyperactivity and increased …

Oxidants have critical functions inside healthy and unhealthy cells. Deregulated cell cycle
and apoptosis, both regulated by oxidative stress, have been described as hallmarks of …

This study attempts to provide a critical assessment of three different common approaches to
identifying reactive species formed in biological systems: the 2′, 7′-dichlorofluorescin …

To investigate the antioxidant responses of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) to cadmium (Cd)
treatment, seedlings of a tolerant variety were grown in increasing concentrations of CdCl2 …

The oxidation of 2′-7′-dichlorofluorescin (DCFH) to the fluorescent 2′-7′-
dichlorofluorescein (DCF) by horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was investigated by …

Several metals have been found to be carcinogenic to humans and/or animals (Tables 1
and 2). However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. It is believed that neoplastic …

Cadmium (Cd) is a potential pollutant of the environment. It manifests cyto-toxic effects in
different organs in animals. In the present study, intraperitoneal injection of CdCl2 (1mg/kg …

Although reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in cadmium (Cd)-induced
hepatotoxicity, the role of ROS in this pathway remains unclear. Therefore, we attempted to …

Nanomaterials are commonly defined as particles or fibers of less than 1 µm in diameter. For
these reasons, they may be respirable in humans and have the potential, based upon their …

Cadmium has recently been shown to induce apoptosis in C6 glioma cells via disruption of
the mitochondrial membrane potential and subsequent caspase 9-activation. Here we show …
