NFKB1 and kidney injury: Consistent with this, previous studies have demonstrated that taurine exerts anti‐inflammatory and antiapoptotic effects by reducing TNF‐α expression in lipopolysaccharide‐induced liver injury [36], downregulating Cas‐3 and Cas‐9 expressions in γ‐irradiation‐induced liver damage in rats [37], and decreasing TNF‐α and NFκB expressions in thioacetamide‐induced kidney injury in rats [38].
