Cadmium induces migration of colon cancer cells: Roles of reactive oxygen species, p38 and cyclooxygenase-2
( Cell Physiol Biochem Press GmbH & Co KG , 2019 , Article)Background/Aims: Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal contaminant whose toxicity is associated with colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of Cd-induced CRC malignancy remain obscure. Methods: A ... -
Cadmium Modulates Expression of Vascular Alpha 1 Adrenoceptors and Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells Phenotype
(2013 , Master Thesis)Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of death worldwide, including Qatar. Hypertension is one of the most common CVDs that contribute to this mortality. Cadmium (Cd) is a well-known pollutant that has ... -
Cadmium Toxicity: Oxidative Stress, Inflammation and Tissue Injury
( Scientific Research Publishing , 2019 , Article Review)Cadmium is a known environmental pollutant targeting various organs. Often implicated in cadmium toxicology is the formation of reactive oxygen species, overwhelming the free radical scavenging mechanisms and inducing ... -
Cadmium-induced endothelial dysfunction mediated by asymmetric dimethylarginine.
( Springer , 2020 , Article)Cadmium (Cd) is a naturally occurring toxic heavy metal with no known essential biological functions. Exposure to Cd increases the risk of cardiovascular disease by disrupting vascular homeostasis at the endothelium. The ... -
Cadmium: An Emerging Role in Adipose Tissue Dysfunction
( Springer , 2021 , Article Review)Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal that is widespread in the environment due to the substantial anthropogenic inputs from the agriculture and industrial sectors. The toxic impact of Cd adversely affects human health and ... -
Determination of heavy metals contamination in thyme products by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Thyme herbs constitute a major part of the Mediterranean diet and are gaining worldwide popularity. However, their chemical contamination with toxic metals may put consumers at a health risk. The objective of this study ... -
Evaluation of cadmium and mercury on cardiovascular and neurological systems: Effects on humans and fish
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Chemicals are at the top of public health concerns and metals have received much attention in terms of toxicological studies. Cadmium (Cd) and mercury (Hg) are among the most toxic heavy metals and are widely distributed ... -
Leaching of Some Essential and Non-Essential Heavy Metals from Modern Glazed Ceramic Crockeries Imported into Qatar from China, India and Spain
( OMICS International , 2018 , Article)In this study, the leaching potential of ceramic crockeries available in Qatar market has been evaluated using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Ceramic crockeries decorated with glaze matter containing ... -
Novel aluminum oxide-impregnated carbon nanotube membrane for the removal of cadmium from aqueous solution
( MDPI AG , 2017 , Article)An aluminum oxide-impregnated carbon nanotube (CNT-Al2O3) membrane was developed via a novel approach and used in the removal of toxic metal cadmium ions, Cd(II). The membrane did not require any binder to hold the carbon ... -
The assessment of cadmium, chromium, copper, and nickel tolerance and bioaccumulation by shrub plant Tetraena qataranse
( Nature Publishing Group , 2019 , Article)Heavy metals constitute some of the most significant environmental contaminants today. The abundance of naturally growing Tetraena qataranse around Ras Laffan oil and gas facilities in the state of Qatar reflects its ... -
