Mentha-mediated selenium nanoparticles attenuate adriamycin-induced chronic kidney disease via multi-target modulation of oxidative, inflammatory, and fibrotic pathways.
Key takeaways
Researchers tested a new type of tiny particle made from mint and selenium in rats. The particles helped reduce kidney damage caused by a specific drug in the animals. This is an early-stage study in animals, so it has not been tested in people yet.
