Alleviation of Chromium-Induced Tissue Toxicity by Using Different Medicinal Plants

The accumulation of the heavy metal chromium (Cr) in different organs such as liver, kidneys, heart, and lungs can cause a negative impact on human health. Inhalation is one of the most frequent ways that people are exposed to Cr, and it is linked to harm. Much of the damage produced by Cr poisoning has been related to increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The body's antioxidant system balance has been observed to be impacted by a redox imbalance brought on by Cr-induced ROS-mediated oxidative stress. Thus, the positive impact of antioxidant nutrients through exogenous antioxidant molecule supplementation may be linked to either lowering the likelihood of Cr interacting with essential biomolecules and causing oxidative damage or enhancing the antioxidant defenses of the cell. This review addresses to discuss the advantageous effect of herbal plants in tissue damage caused by chromium.
