“…As the liver is one of the target organs for Cd and disturbances in the proper functioning of this organ have serious consequences for health (Brea et al, 2017;Chang et al, 2012;Targher et al, 2008), in the present review our attention has been focused on polyphenol-rich food products as a possible effective strategy in the protection from Cd hepatotoxicity and treatment of this heavy metal-induced liver damage. Owing to the ability of polyphenols to bind ions of divalent metals, including toxic metals (Borowska, Brzóska, & Tomczyk, 2018;Dai, Dong, & Ma, 2012;Horniblow, Henesy, Iqbal, & Tselepis, 2017;Jayanta & Shukla, 2014;Primikyri et al, 2015;Ravichandran, Rajendran, & Devapiriam, 2014), and strong antioxidative potential of these compounds (Brzóska, Borowska, & Tomczyk, 2016, as well as their abundance in dietary products (Brzóska, Borowska, & Tomczyk, 2016;Brzóska, Rogalska, et al, 2016;Quideau, Deffieux, Douat-Casassus, & Pouységu, 2011), it seems to be of high importance to consider the possibility of using polyphenols as potential FIGURE 1 Function of the liver in the organism [Colour figure can be viewed at wileyonlinelibrary.com] preventive and therapeutic agents against Cd hepatotoxicity.…”
