Introduction Coral reefs are highly productive marine ecosystems that support biodiversity, nutrient cycling, and coastal protection. Thermal stress associated with ocean warming threatens coral physiology by disrupting metabolism, antioxidant defenses, and tissue integrity. Tubastraea aurea , a stony coral with fleshy polyps and a calcareous skeleton, was investigated to determine how increasing temperature affects biochemica...

Oxidative stress plays a significant role in the pathophysiology of numerous kidney diseases, generally mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Arsenic (Ar) is known to exert its toxicity through the generation of ROS and inflammation. The current study investigates the protective effects of sulforaphane (SFN) against arsenic-induced renal damage via PI3K/Akt-mediated Nrf2 pathway signaling. Thirty-two male albino Wistar ra...
