Hexavalent Chromium Exposure Induces Intestinal Barrier Damage via Activation of the NF-κB Signaling Pathway and NLRP3 Inflammasome in Ducks

Hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] is a dangerous heavy metal which can impair the gastrointestinal system in various species; however, the processes behind Cr(VI)-induced intestinal barrier damage are unknown. Forty-eight healthy 1-day-old ducks were stochastically assigned to four groups and fed a basal...
