Salicylic Acid Protects Photosynthesis against Cadmium Toxicity in Pea Plants
In the present study we have investigated the possible mediatory role of salicylic acid (SA) in protecting photosynthesis against cadmium (Cd) toxicity. The exposure of pea plants to increasing Cd concentrations (0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 5.0 µM) during early stages of their establishment caused a gradual decrease in shoot and root fresh weight accumulation, the rate of CO 2 fixation and the activity o...
متن کاملDietary Strategies for the Treatment of Cadmium and Lead Toxicity
Cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) are toxic heavy metals that cause adverse health effects in humans and animals. Chelation therapy, the conventional treatment for heavy metal toxicity, is reported to have a number of safety and efficacy issues. Recent studies have shown that dietary supplements play important roles in protecting against Cd and Pb toxicity. This paper reviews the evidence for protecti...
متن کاملLiver and Cadmium Toxicity
Cadmium (Cd) is an important industrial and environmental toxicant with many industrial applications. Cd emissions to the atmospheric, aquatic, and terrestrial environment have increased during the last century. Since Cd is not degraded in the environment, the risk of human exposure is constantly increased due to Cd also enters to the food chain [1]. Humans are generally exposed to Cd by two ma...
متن کاملCadmium Toxicity and Treatment
Cadmium is a heavy metal of considerable toxicity with destructive impact on most organ systems. It is widely distributed in humans, the chief sources of contamination being cigarette smoke, welding, and contaminated food and beverages. Toxic impacts are discussed and appear to be proportional to body burden of cadmium. Detoxification of cadmium with EDTA and other chelators is possible and has...
متن کاملCellulose Acetate Nanofiltration Membranes for Cadmium Remediation
In this work, cellulose acetate (CA) nanofiltration (NF) membranes were prepared via non-solvent phase inversion technique (NIPS). Polymer concentration was varied from 22 to 25 wt% in order to study its effect on the membrane properties. The fabricated membranes were characterized in terms of morphological analysis using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact angle, water content, water p...
