Oxidative stress-mediated apoptosis and autophagy involved in Ni-induced nephrotoxicity in the mice

As an extensively environmental pollution, Nickel (Ni) represents a serious hazard to human health. The present study focused on exploring the mechanism of Ni-mediated nephrotoxicity, such as apoptosis, autophagy and oxidative stress. In the current work, NiCl2 treatment could induce kidney damage....
