Abstraet--A laboratory study of cadmium exchangeability revealed large differences in extractable cadmium which are dependent on the exchange solution being utilized. The standard exchange solutions employed in this study were: N NaNO3, N NaOAc, N NH4OAc, NCaCI~, and 2N CaCI2, in order of increasing Cd removal. An interpretation of the chemical behavior of Cd and an experiment with mixed sodium...

Cadmium, a metal widely used in industrial processes, has been recognized to be a highly toxic and dangerous environmental pollutant. These excess amounts in addition to naturally occurring levels gradually build up to toxic levels causing damages to the biota of the aquatic ecosystem. The fresh water field crab, Paratelphusa hydrodromous is an important human food source in parts of South Indi...

Cadmium is a biologically non-essential divalent hazardous metal. Previous studies demonstrated that cadmium toxic effect was caused by reactive oxygen species. Since gene expression is influenced by the presence of these reactive oxygen species, the association between metal intoxication and gene expression has recently become a major focus of research. We examined the effect of cadmium chlori...

BACKGROUND The current study aimed to elucidate the protective role of combined fenugreek and a-tocopherol against cadmium induced histopathological changes in the testes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty adult male albino rats divided into three equal groups 10 rats each. Group I is the control group. Group II received 5 mg/kg/ day cadmium chloride. Group III received 5 mg/kg/day cadmium chlorid...

Cadmium (Cd) is a dangerous occupational and environmental toxin. Exceeding its permissible weekly uptake in meals is a disturbing phenomenon. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of long-term uptake of cadmium chloride on selected biochemical parameters and oxidative stress biomarkers in animal models. Long-term intoxication with cadmium chloride elevated blood serum concentration of ...

Aim of the study: Green tea catechin possesses antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity which stimulate detoxification system through selective induction or modification of phase I and phase II metabolic enzymes. This study was carried out to assess the antioxidative and antimetalotoxic effect of green tea Catechin against cadmium chloride in mice. Method: Adult Swiss albino mice were i...

Background: Protective effect of Emblica against radiation and cadmium induced biochemical changes in mouse kidney has been studied. Materials and Methods: Adult male mice were divided into seven groups: I (shamirradiated), II (cadmium chloride), III (irradiated with 2 Gy gamma rays), IV (radiation and cadmium chloride), V (Cadmium chloride and Emblica), VI (radiation and Emblica), VII...
