Our early toxicological studies showed that metallothionein (MT) is a protein that carries
cadmium (Cd) to the kidney, explaining why Cd exposures during long time periods may …

Long term cadmium (Cd) exposure in occupational and general environments may give rise
to kidney dysfunction. This effect is usually considered to be the critical effect, ie the effect …

Cadmium is a well-known nephrotoxic agent with extremely long biological half-time of 15–
30 years in humans. To prevent nephrotoxicity induced by cadmium, it is necessary to …

OBJECTIVES: Cadmium (Cd) toxicity of the kidney varies between individuals despite
similar exposure levels. In humans Cd is mainly bound to metallothioneins (MT), which …

Studies in vivo and in vitro have shown a protective effect of zinc against renal dysfunction
caused by cadmium exposure. However, limited human data is available. In this study, we …

Cadmium (Cd) occurs in low concentrations in all human diets and in cigarettes. In
contaminated areas and in certain occupations, high human exposures occur. In assessing …

The first health effects of cadmium (Cd) were reported already in 1858. Respiratory and
gastrointestinal symptoms occurred among persons using Cd-containing polishing agent …

The objectives of this study were to examine the association between urinary excretion of
cadmium (U-Cd) copper (U-Cu), and zinc (U-Zn) and the severity of two different indicators …

It has been reported that anti-metallothionein (a metallothionein antibody) is present in the
circulation of healthy subjects and in patients suffering from atopic dermatitis. The aim of this …

Low-level cadmium exposure has adverse effects on chronic kidney disease (CKD);
however, the risk factors for elevated blood cadmium levels (BCLs) have not been studied in …
