Abstract

The journal retracts the article titled "Carnosic Acid Attenuates Cadmium Induced Nephrotoxicity by Inhibiting Oxidative Stress, Promoting Nrf2/HO-1 Signalling and Impairing TGF-β1/Smad/Collagen IV Signalling" [...].

Key Findings

  • Carnosic acid was reported to attenuate cadmium-induced nephrotoxicity
  • The mechanism involved inhibition of oxidative stress
  • Promotion of Nrf2/HO-1 signaling and impairment of TGF-β1/Smad/Collagen IV signaling were implicated

Clinical Significance

Although the study was retracted, the findings initially suggested that targeting oxidative stress pathways via Nrf2/HO-1 signaling could be a potential therapeutic approach for cadmium-induced kidney damage.
