Effect of cadmium, copper and zinc on plants, soil microorganisms and soil enzymes. (2012, neutral): “Cadmium is transported by membrane transporters and cellular channels, where it forms complexes with thiol groups of biomolecules (B RIDGES , Z ALUPS 2005).”
Prevalence of exposure of heavy metals and their impact on health consequences (2018, background): “Along with other organs such as kidney, lung, and pancreas, the reproductive organs ofmammalian group such as prostate, ovary, and placenta are also adversely affected by Cd exposure.(63,64) Studies have demonstrated that free radicals such as hydrogen peroxide produced by Cd have capability to dist”
Heavy Metals and Human Health: Mechanistic Insight into Toxicity and Counter Defense System of Antioxidants (2015, background): “Despite being beneficial in reducing toxicity, both GSH and NAC conjugates of mercury possess a high risk of redistribution of mercury to the body by assisting in the uptake mechanisms at the surface of kidneys [42].”
Effects of increased pCO2 and temperature on trace element (Ag, Cd and Zn) bioaccumulation in the eggs of the common cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis (2009, background): “Considering that Cd mimics Ca (Bustamante et al. 2002; 451 Bridges and Zalups, 2005), the decreasing Cd accumulation with increasing pCO2 whatever 452 the temperature was, could reflect a possible decreasing calcification rate of the embryo under 453 hypercapnic conditions (e.g. Gazeau et al.,…”
