( 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 intake and chronic kidney disease: Response to Kawada T.
( Elsevier Ltd. and European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism , 2018 , Article)We would like to thank Dr Kawada for the interest in our study. Dr Kawada raised a critical point regarding the provisional tolerable monthly intake (PTMI) for cadmium (25 μg/kg body weight/month) proposed by WHO in 2013 ... -
Cadmium Intake, Dietary Patterns and Hyperuricemia Among Adults in China
( Springer , 2020 , Article)Blood and urine cadmium levels have been found to be positively associated with hyperuricemia (HU) in some studies. Few studies have examined the association between dietary cadmium intake, dietary patterns and HU in the ... -
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 ... -
CAE Adaptive Compression, Transmission Energy and Cost Optimization for m-Health Systems
