Rutin restores neurobehavioral deficits via alterations in cadmium bioavailability in the brain of rats exposed to cadmium

Many plant foods are rich sources of rutin, a flavonoid with many biological activities and health benefits. Exposure to cadmium has been implicated in neurotoxicity and cognitive dysfunction in animal models. However, there is a dearth of information on the effect of rutin on the cadmium bioavailability in the brain of rats exposed to cadmium. Thus, the present study investigated the therapeutic efficacy of rutin in an animal model of cognitive...
