Protective Effects of 1,8-Cineole on Liver Function in Rats Exposed to Cadmium Chloride
Keywords:
1,8-Cineole, Cadmium chloride, Liver function, Oxidative stress, HepatoprotectionAbstract
Background: The liver, an essential organ for metabolic control and detoxification, is particularly vulnerable to harm from environmental contaminants like cadmium chloride (CdCl₂). Significant liver damage results from the oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and inflammation that CdCl₂ causes. Natural monoterpene 1,8-cineole is known to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant qualities, which makes it a viable option for reducing cadmium-induced liver toxicity.
Objectives: This research looked at how 1,8-cineole affected oxidative stress, lipid metabolism, and inflammatory markers in order to assess its hepatoprotective properties against CdCl₂-induced liver damage in rats.
