Effect of hemin and baicalein on heme oxygenase-1 accumulation and function in Xenopus laevis cultured cells
(University of Waterloo, 2018-04-26)Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is a stress-inducible enzyme that catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the hemin degradation pathway. Studies in mammalian systems determined that HO-1 promoted cell survival by reducing oxidative ... -
Effect of hemin, baicalein and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) enzyme activity inhibitors on Cd-induced accumulation of HO-1, HSPs and aggresome-like structures in Xenopus kidney epithelial cells
(Elsevier, 2018-08-01)Cadmium is a highly toxic environmental pollutant that can cause many adverse effects including cancer, neurological disease and kidney damage. Aquatic amphibians are particularly susceptible to this toxicant as it was ... -
Impact of Cadmium On The Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Interrenal Axis Function in Rainbow Trout
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-30)Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential metal present in sublethal concentrations within the aquatic environment. Cd is an endocrine disruptor and high concentrations of this metal suppress stressor-induced cortisol production in ...
