Optimal Regimen of N-Acetylcysteine on Chromium-Induced Renal Cell Damage

Optimal Regimen of N-Acetylcysteine on Chromium-Induced Renal Cell Damage

Chromium (Cr) is a well-known heavy metal that can cause renal damage. The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to chromium-induced toxicity induces cell dysfunction, apoptosis, and death. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is an antioxidant used as an antidote for chromium-induced toxicity. However,...
