Molecular and ionic mimicry and the transport of toxic metals. (2005, background): “Additional studies from these investigators provided data regarding the mechanism by which Cd2+ is able to activate the estrogen receptor (Martin et al., 2003; Stoica et al., 2000a).”
Current status of cadmium as an environmental health problem. (2009, background): “More recently, cadmium was proposed as a potent metalloestrogen (Safe, 2003; Stoica et al., 2000; Garcia-Morales et al., 1994; Brama et al., 2007).”
Health Evaluation of Leatherback Turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) in the Northwestern Atlantic During Direct Capture and Fisheries Gear Disentanglement (2010, background): “…and possible effects of cadmium in leatherbacks should be investigated further because this metal may be carcinogenic and teratogenic, and may have toxic effects on the kidneys and respiratory, endocrine, and reproductive systems in a variety of species (Goering et al. 1995; Stoica et al. 2000).”
Environmental signaling: what embryos and evolution teach us about endocrine disrupting chemicals. (2001, background): “Cadmium has recently been demonstrated to activate ERa by interacting with the ligand-binding domain of the receptor (39).”
