Increasing evidence has suggested cadmium (Cd), as an inducer of ROS, is a potential pathogenic factor in human neurodegenerative diseases. Thus, it is important to find effective interventions for Cd-induced oxidative stress in the CNS. Here, we have studied the effects of celastrol, a plant-derived triterpene, on ROS production and cell death in neuronal cells, induced by Cd.
