Abstract The present study was conducted to assess the effects of Cd exposure on estrogen signaling in zebrafish brain, as well potential protective role Zn against Cd‐induced toxicity. For this purpose, transcriptional activation receptors (ERs), aromatase B (Aro‐B) protein expression and molecular related genes were examined vivo using wild‐type transgenic embryos. vitro studies, an ER‐negative glial cell line (U251MG) transfected with different ER subtypes (ERα, ERβ1 ERβ2) also used....
Abstract The protective action of melatonin (MLT) against the harmful effects cadmium (Cd) on testicular activity in rats has been documented previously; however, involved molecular mechanisms have yet to be elucidated. Herein, we investigate involvement mammalian target rapamycin (mTOR) ability MLT counteract damage induced by Cd rat activity. Our study confirmed that testes and exerted MLT. We reported, for first time, addition (Rapa), a specific mTOR inhibitor, animals co‐treated with...
