Molecular mechanism of ferric nitrilotriacetate (Fe-NTA)-induced oxidative damage of renal proximal tubules after a single intraperitoneal injection. This depends on two distinct characteristics of renal proximal tubular lumina: paucity of antioxidattive proteins such as albumin and reductive environment through the presence of L-cysteine with GSH cycles.
