Cadmium uptake by plants.
Food chain contamination by cadmium (Cd) is the most important pathway of Cd exposure to the general population, excluding smokers. Factors affecting transfer of Cd from soil and air to plants are reviewed. The direct deposition of airborne Cd in the plants has only a marginal influence on the crop Cd concentrations in rural areas with low atmospheric Cd deposition, i.e. < 2 g Cd ha(-1) y(-1). ...
متن کاملEffect of selenium on cadmium uptake in selected benthic invertebrates
Effect of selenium on uptake of cadmium in the benthic marine invertebrates Asterias rubens, Mytilus edulis, Littorina littorea, and Arenicola marina was investigated in a series of laboratory experiments. A. rubens exposed to 200 ~cg Cd 1-' alone took up cadmium in body wall, pyloric caeca, and tube feet at initial rates of 1 to 2 pg Cd g-' dry wt d-'; steady state concentrations of 10 to 30 p...
متن کاملCadmium uptake and metabolism in cultured cells.
Cultured cells have been made resistant to otherwise lethal concentrations of the toxic Cd ion, probably by induction of metallothionein (MT) synthesis and binding of Cd to the MT. One human epithelial cell line (HE) and two enzyme-deficient mutants of mouse fibroblasts (L-cells) (Cl 1D and A9) and their Cd-resistant substrains with a high content of MT, have been used to study cellular Cd upta...
متن کاملEffect of cadmium pretreatment on teratogenicity and fetolethality of cadmium.
Pretreatment with cadmium is reported to protect animals, to some extent, from acute toxicity of a following administration of a higher dose of cadmium itself. On the other hand, it is still unknown as to whether or not the teratogenicity and/or the fetolethality of cadmium are reduced by such pretreatment with cadmium. Based on Cadmium Pretreatment and Fetotoxicity of Cadmium 287 a report that...
متن کاملPhlebotomy increases cadmium uptake in hemochromatosis.
The intestinal absorption of the nephrotoxic environmental pollutant cadmium increases markedly when iron stores are depleted. This may be mediated by an up regulation of the recently identified mucosal transporter DMT1 (Nramp2 or DCT1) for divalent cations. We tested whether the highly increased iron absorption in hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) was accompanied by an enhanced absorption of cad...
