The effects of two common edible herbs Ipomoea aquatica and Enhydra fluctuans on cadmium-induced pathophysiology: a focus on oxidative defence and anti-apoptotic mechanism

摘要

BackgroundIpomoea aquatica (Convolvulaceae) and Enhydra fluctuans (Asteraceae), two aquatic vegetables, are traditionally used against heavy metal toxicity in traditional medicines in India. The present study aimed to explore the protective role of edible (aqueous) extracts of I. aquatica (AEIA) and E. fluctuans (AEEF) against Cd-intoxication.
