The present study aimed to investigate the concentration of potentially toxic metals (PTMs: Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Al, As, Cr, Cd, and Pb) in agricultural soil and some commonly consumed vegetables (carrot, reddish, cauliflower, pumpkin, and spinach). The samples were collected from agrarian farmlands near the industrial area of Multan Road, Kasur-Pakistan.

Multivariate analysis indicated that both natural and anthropogenic activities contribute to metal contamination. The calculated hazard index (HI > 1) and cumulative cancer risk (CCR >1 × 10<sup>−3</sup>) values indicated the probability of non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health risks for adults and children associated with the consumption of these vegetables.

In contrast, co-administration of rutin and paclitaxel significantly (p<0.05) reduced the intracellular ROS and NO levels, reversed the toxic effects of paclitaxel through NRF2-mediated activation of antioxidant response element (ARE) pathway and upregulated activity of several phase-II antioxidant enzymes. Furthermore, rutin treatment inhibited apoptosis by downregulated expression of Bax, caspase-3 and cPARP in bone marrow, liver and kidney tissues.
