Highlights
Environmental pollution is considered as man’s greatest crime against himself as pollution of the ecosystem with industrial, agricultural and sewage effluents results in contamination of air, food and water with some toxic agents such as heavy metals which constitute a major public threat
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the protective role of curcumin in Cd- induced oxidative stress on thyroid gland activity
3.1 Body and organ weight: As evaluated from the present findings, body weight of the experimental animals gradually increased in all the treated groups but lesser weight gain was observed in Cd-exposed rats G2 as compared to control
Summary
Environmental pollution is considered as man’s greatest crime against himself as pollution of the ecosystem with industrial, agricultural and sewage effluents results in contamination of air, food and water with some toxic agents such as heavy metals which constitute a major public threat. Among the various heavy metals, Cadmium (Cd), 48th element in the periodic table with an atomic weight of 112.4, is one of the hazardous metals that is not physiologically or biochemically essential to organisms and is present in all components of our environment i.e. air, water and soil. It is unique among all the heavy metal toxicants because of its low dosage toxicity, long biological half-life and low rate of excretion from the body [2]. It is known to be the most harmful heavy metal as it causes various forms of diseases such as osteomalacia, osteoporosis, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, anemia and cancer [6,7]
