Background and objectives Exposure to cadmium (Cd) has been associated with aberrant
zinc and copper homeostasis. This study investigated if Cd exposure impairs renal …

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 …

Background Despite animal evidence suggests that zinc modulates cadmium nephrotoxicity,
limited human data are available. Objective To test the hypothesis that low serum zinc …

Purpose This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the effect of environmental cadmium
(Cd) exposure and essential metal imbalance on renal tubular damage and oxidative stress …

This study was undertaken to assess changes in zinc and copper homeostasis in human
tissues that could be attributed to human exposure to environmental cadmium, using …

High-level cadmium (Cd) exposure has long been known to induce nephropathy, severe
osteoporosis, and fractures in humans. More recent epidemiology, however, reveals that, in …

Background Exposure to cadmium has been associated with nephropathy and implicated in
the development of diabetes and hypertension. The role of environmental metal exposure …

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 …

Abstract Cadmium (Cd), a by-product of zinc production, is one of the most toxic elements to
which man can be exposed at work or in the environment. Once absorbed, Cd is efficiently …

Cadmium (Cd) is a food-chain contaminant that has high rates of soil-to-plant transference.
This phenomenon makes dietary Cd intake unavoidable. Although long-term Cd intake …
