Metallothionein (MT), induced in different organs in response to heavy metals and oxidative conditions, exerts antioxidant properties and thus could be implicated in cardiovascular physiopathology. The aim of this study was to investigate the capacity of cadmium (Cd) and isoproterenol to induce in v

Fibronectins are multifunctional glycoproteins that are important components of the extracellular matrix in normal and fibrotic liver. Multiple fibronectin isoforms are generated from a single gene by alternative splicing of the primary transcript at the domains EIIIA, EIIIB, and V. The aim of this
## Abstract Identification of molecular markers of earlyβstage breast cancer development is important for the diagnosis and prevention of the disease. In the present study, we used microarray analysis to examine the differential expression of genes in the rat mammary gland soon after treatment with
## Abstract Our study examined the role of oxidative stress and aberrant gene expression in malignant transformation induced by chronic, lowβlevel cadmium exposure in nonβtumorigenic rat liver epithelial cell line, TRL 1215. Cells were cultured in 1.0 ΞΌM cadmium (as CdCl~2~) for up to 28 weeks and
