Arsenic is well known toxicant responsible for human diseases including cancers. On the other hand, selenium is an essential trace element with significant chemopreventive effects, anticancer potentials and antioxidant properties. Although previous studies have reported antagonism/synergism between ...

Purpose of this study is to investigate mechanism/s of cyto-protection by selenium (Na 2 SeO 3 ; Se 4+ ) against cadmium (CdCl 2 ; Cd 2+ )-induced cytotoxicity using PC12 cells. In addition, Se (5, 10, 20 and 40 μM) and Cd (2.5, 5 and 10 μM)-induced cytotoxicity is determined. Cytotoxicity assays an...

Cadmium (Cd2+) is a well studied inducer of cellular necrosis and apoptosis. Zinc (Zn2+) is known to inhibit apoptosis induced by toxicants including Cd2+ both in vitro and in vivo. The mechanism of Zn2+-mediated protection from Cd2+-induced cytotoxicity is not established. In this study, we aimed t...

Mercury (Hg) in its all forms, including inorganic Hg (iHg) is an environmental contaminant due to toxicity and diseases in human. However, a little is known about the underlying mechanisms responsible for iHg toxicity. Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element, recognized as an antioxidant and pr...
