Cadmium accumulation in aortas of smokers.
Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a smoking-related disorder. Cadmium, inhaled from cigarettes, may accumulate in the aorta and facilitate weakening of the aorta through adverse effects on smooth muscle cell metabolism. Cadmium was measured by atomic absorption spectrometry in infrarenal aortas from 13 patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm and from 17 age- and sex-matched patients with normal-diam...
متن کاملCadmium accumulation and detoxification by alveolar macrophages of cigarette smokers.
STUDY OBJECTIVES Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic metal associated with emphysema and lung cancer, which is present in both air pollution and cigarette smoke. Metallothionein (MT) is an inducible protein that binds and detoxifies cellular Cd. The goals of this study were to determine whether increased concentrations of Cd are present in alveolar macrophages (AMs) of cigarette smokers (CSMs) and to deter...
متن کاملGender dependent accumulation of dioxins in smokers.
AIMS To evaluate the contribution of tobacco smoking to dioxin accumulation. METHODS Dioxin (17 PCDD/F) concentrations in fasting blood from 251 subjects (161 never smokers, 54 past smokers, and 36 current smokers) were quantified. RESULTS Whereas serum dioxin concentrations of male smokers were on average 40% higher than those of non-smokers, in women, smoking was associated with significa...
متن کاملInvestigation of Accumulation of Lead, Cadmium and Copper in Edible Tissue Alborz in Hydrothermal Fish
Introduction: Bioaccumulation Capacity of Heavy metals in aquatic bodies can do a serious threat to food security and public health. Therefore, in this study, the amount of lead, cadmium and copper in edible tissues of hydrothermal fish in Alborz province was determined in 2017. Materials and Methods: Twenty-one carp fish of three species were randomly selected from the Mahmoudi fishery, which ...
متن کاملGene limiting cadmium accumulation in rice.
Intake of toxic cadmium (Cd) from rice caused Itai-itai disease in the past and it is still a threat for human health. Therefore, control of the accumulation of Cd from soil is an important food-safety issue, but the molecular mechanism for the control is unknown. Herein, we report a gene (OsHMA3) responsible for low Cd accumulation in rice that was isolated from a mapping population derived fr...
