We focus on the recent evidence that elucidates our understanding about the effects of
cadmium (Cd) on human health and their prevention. Recently, there has been substantial …

Cadmium (Cd) is a cumulative element with a biological half-life of> 10 years in humans.
The total amount of Cd accumulated in the liver and in the kidney can be measured in vivo …

A successful prevention of renal diseases induced by occupational or environmental
exposure to toxic metals such as mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), or cadmium (Cd) largely relies on …

Background Cadmium is a ubiquitous environmental pollutant, which accumulates in the
human body such that 24-h urinary excretion is a biomarker of lifetime exposure. We aimed …

Background Chronic low-level exposure to cadmium may promote calcium loss via urinary
excretion. We undertook a prospective population study to investigate whether …

Studies on the possible association between blood pressure and blood lead have reached
divergent conclusions. In a previous meta-analysis, a doubling of the blood lead …

Background Environmental exposure to cadmium decreases bone density indirectly through
hypercalciuria resulting from renal tubular dysfunction. Objective We sought evidence for a …

Background: Although adverse neuropsychological and neurological health effects are well
known among workers with high manganese (Mn) exposures in mining, ore-processing and …

Contaminated soil particles and food are established routes of exposure. We investigated
the relations between biomarkers of exposure to cadmium and lead, and the metal loading …

Background Human exposure to chemicals is normally monitored by measurement of
environmental pollutants in external media. We investigated whether biomarkers in …
