Synonyms, trade names and molecular formulae for cadmium, cadmium–copper alloy, and some cadmium compounds are presented in Table 1.1. The cadmium compounds shown are those for which data on carcinogenicity or mutagenicity were available or which are commercially important compounds. It is not an exhaustive list, and does not necessarily include all of the most commercially important cadmium-co...

Wheat genotypes with different endogenous SA contents were investigated, in order to reveal how cadmium influences salicylic acid (SA) synthesis, and to find possible relationships between SA and certain protective compounds (members of the antioxidants and the heavy metal detoxification system) and between the SA content and the level of cadmium tolerance. Cadmium exposure induced SA synthesis...

Cytotoxicity of cadmium sulphide, oxide and chloride was tested using A549 and CHO-9 cells. Metabolic activity of cells (MTT test) and cell membrane permeability (NRU test) were used as cytotoxicity endpoints. The results revealed unexpectedly low toxicity of cadmium sulphide as compared to chloride and oxide. This preliminary report does not provide any explanation for this effect, but the res...

abstract aims: chemical precipitation is a simple, efficient, and cost-effective method for eliminating heavy metals found in landfill leachate. the aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy rates of cadmium removal with the coagulants like poly aluminum chloride and lime using chemical precipitation method. materials & methods: in this experimental study, the raw studied samples wer...

Cadmium tolerance and removal in the marine microalga Dunaliella salina were studied in cultures exposed to different metal concentrations (5-120 mg Cd l(-1)) for 96h. This microalga can be included in the group of microalgal species most tolerant to cadmium due to the high value of EC50 that it possesses (48.9 mg Cd l(-1) at 96 h of culture). The greater percentage of cadmium removed was obtai...

Metal compounds have been associated with male reproductive toxicity in vivo. The aim of the present study was to investigate the in vitro effects of 20 metal compounds using rabbit ejaculated spermatozoa as a study model for spermiotoxicity. Five of the metals tested (arsenic, cadmium, chromium, mercury and vanadium) reduced sperm motility and curvilinear velocity. Ultrastructural analyses rev...

Cadmium sulfide uniform fine particles have been synthesized in soft conditions, at room temperature, using cadmium complex compounds and thioacetamide. The microstructure and morphology of cadmium sulfide were characterized by X ray Diffraction, Transmission Electron Microscopy, High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy, and Selected Area Electron Diffraction. The optical properties of ...

The effects of triterpene compounds on cadmium toxicity were investigated in HepG2 cells. Ten triterpene compounds were examined, namely, betulin, soyasapogenol A, soyasapogenol B, ursolic acid, uvaol, oleanolic acid, friedelin, glycyrrhizin, 18alpha-glycyrrhetinic acid, and 18beta-glycyrrhetinic acid, and betulin, soyasapogenol A, and uvaol were found to reduce the toxicity of CdCl(2). In part...
