RNA-Seq of rattus norvegicus: adult male liver
This study used 24 male rats to determine the protective effects of a new selenium molecule (glucose selenol) on cadmium (Cd) induced hepatic toxicity. The rats were randomly divided into four drinking groups: control group (CK, deionized water); Cd group (40 mg/L CdCl2); Cd+ low Se group (40 mg/L CdCl2 + 0.15 mg/L glucose selenol), Cd+high Se group (40 mg/L CdCl2 + 0.4 mg/L glucose selenol).
