Hepato-protective effect of Pleurotus ostreatus extracts in cadmium- intoxicated rats

Protective effect of luteolin against cadmium-induced hepatotoxicity by inhibiting oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis in mice

“…Cd induces oxidative stress by promoting ROS production [35,36]. Excess ROS leads to the production of large amounts of MDA, which induces tissue damage.…”

Investigation into the Intake of Edible Mushroom <i>Pleurotus ostreatus</i> (Aqueous Extract Oyster Mushroom) on Biochemical Indices of Female Wistar Rats

“…Provide important nutrients (selenium, potassium, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin D, protein and fiber) and bioactive compounds (lectins, proteases, fibrinolytic enzymes, protease inhibitors, and phenolic compounds) [1]- [9]. Studies report that their bioactive compounds are responsible by effects anti-inflammatory [10], antinociceptive [11], antioxidant [12] [13] [14] [15], antitumour [16] [17] [18], enhancer of iron bioavailability [19], gastroprotective [20], hepatoprotective [21] [22] [23], hypocholesterolemic [12] [24] [25] [26], hipoglycemic [2] [25] [27]- [39], immunomodulador [4] and nephroprotective [40] [41] (Figure 1).…”

Effects of Cadmium Exposure on the Immune System and Immunoregulation

“…Cd accumulation occurs in several organs and tissues. Cd causes acute or chronic toxicity in the lungs, kidneys, liver, and bones and can be absorbed into the blood from the lungs and gastrointestinal tract, where it binds to blood cells, thus affecting the blood system (Figure 1 and Box 1) (5,(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28).…”
