Studies have revealed that anti‐inflammatory agents could provide beneficial effect in
lowering the incidence/progression of neurological diseases. Hence, this study sought to
investigate the effect of essential oils from Nigeria ginger and turmeric rhizomes on some
cytokines in cadmium induced neurotoxicity. The result revealed that essential oil from
ginger and turmeric rhizomes exerts anti‐inflammatory effect by preventing alterations of
some cytokines/inflammatory biomarkers (IL‐6, IL‐10 and TNF‐Alpha) levels and inhibits …

Several studies have shown that cadmium (Cd) induces nephrotoxicity and many plant
foods phytochemicals have been found useful but their possible mechanism of action still
remains unexplored. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the nephroprotective effect of
essential oils from Nigeria ginger and turmeric rhizomes in cadmium-treated rats by
examining their effect on renal function biomarkers (creatinine, urea and BUN), inflammatory
cytokines (IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-Alpha) and renal adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity. The …
