Puerarin alleviates cadmium-induced rat neurocyte injury by alleviating Nrf2-mediated oxidative stress and inhibiting mitochondrial unfolded protein response

Cadmium (Cd) is a highly neurotoxic environmental pollutant. Puerarin (Pur) is a natural antioxidant isolated from Kudzu root that exhibits a powerful neuroprotective effect. Herein, we illustrated the mechanism underlying the protective effect of Pur on Cd-induced rat neurocyte injury in an in vivo...
