Heavy metal cadmium (Cd) is a widespread environmental contaminant with a potential
toxicity that might adversely influence the health of experimental animals and humans. It has …

To investigate a possible common environmental exposure that may partially explain the
observed decrease in human semen quality, we correlated seminal plasma and blood …

Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic metal for the human organism and for all ecosystems. Cd is
naturally found at low levels; however, higher amounts of Cd in the environment result from …

Radioactive cadmium (109Cd) and zinc (65Zn) were injected subcutaneously into pregnant
rats. More cadmium than zinc was found in the placentae. After birth, newborns showed …

Cadmium is known to cause developmental defects in a varietyof vertebrate species, but
relatively little is known about the underlying molecular mechanisms. In this study, we used …

Malformations in mammalian systems produced by metals are reviewed. The effects of
essential trace elements zinc (7440666), manganese (7439965), copper (7440508), cobalt …

The heavy metals mercury, lead, and cadmium are toxicants, which are well-known to cross
the placenta and to accumulate in fetal tissues. Prenatal exposure to mercury and lead …

Fetal death in rats was produced by subcutaneous injections of CdC12 (40 μmoles/kg) on
day 18 of pregnancy. The incidence of fetal death following these maternal injections was …

Chelation therapy is the basis for the treatment of metal poisoning. A number of chelating
agents have been widely used since the 1950s. Since these agents can be potentially given …
