The aim of this study was to explore the molecular mechanism of tannic acid (TA) mediated renal cytotoxicity in animals, and to provide experimental basis for the reduction and utilization of antinutritional factors in feed. Pig kidney cell line PK-15 cells were treated with different concentrations of TA [0 (blank control), 10, 20 and 30 μmol / L] for 24 h. Cell viability, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, oxidative damage parameters, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), apoptosis related protein expression and cell cycle were measured...
