The protective role of zinc in hyperglycemia-induced kidney injury: molecular modulation of ferroptosis, apoptosis, and fibrosis
Aims: This study aimed to examine the molecular, immunohistochemical, and histopathological impacts of zinc (ZnSO₄) supplementation on apoptosis, ferroptosis, and fibrosis pathways in the kidney tissue of aged female rats with type 2 diabetes, induced by a high-fat diet and streptozotocin (STZ). Methods: Female rats ag...
