Asperuloside attenuates cadmium-induced toxicity by inhibiting oxidative stress, inflammation, fibrosis and apoptosis in rats

Abstract This present study investigated the protective effects of asperuloside (ASP) against cadmium-induced nephrocardiac toxicity. Rats were treated with 50 mg/kg of ASP for five weeks and CdCl2 (5 mg/kg, p.o., once daily) during the last 4 weeks of ASP treatment. The serum levels of blood urea n...
