Interactive mechanism between connexin43 and Cd-induced autophagic flux blockage and gap junctional intercellular communication dysfunction in rat hepatocytes

Cadmium (Cd) is a significant environmental contaminant known for its potential hepatotoxic effects. However, the precise mechanisms underlying Cd-induced hepatotoxicity have yet to be fully understood. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the dynamic role of connexin 43 (Cx43) in...
