Measurements of intake and uptake of cadmium in relation to diet composition were carried out in 57 nonsmoking women, 20-50 years of age. A vegetarian/high-fiber diet and a mixed-diet group were constructed based on results from a food frequency questionnaire. Duplicate diets and the corresponding feces were collected during 4 consecutive days in parallel with dietary recording of type and amou...

In this prospective cohort study, based on 1,505 mother-infant pairs in rural Bangladesh, we evaluated the associations between early-life exposure to arsenic, cadmium, and lead, assessed via concentrations in maternal and child urine, and children’s weights and heights up to age 5 years, during the period 2001–2009. Concurrent and prenatal exposures were evaluated using linear regression analy...

OBJECTIVE It has been reported that diabetes may increase the risk of cadmium-induced kidney damage. The presence of metallothionein antibody (MT-Ab) increased the susceptibility for tubular damage among cadmium workers. This study focused on the relationships between levels of MT-Ab, urinary cadmium, and kidney function in a Chinese type 2 diabetic population. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A c...

Arsenic, cadmium and lead are well-known environmental contaminants, and their toxicity at low concentration is the target of scientific concern. In this study, we aimed to identify the potential effects of prenatal heavy metal exposure on the birth outcomes among the Myanmar population. This study is part of a birth-cohort study conducted with 419 pregnant women in the Ayeyarwady Division, Mya...

In connection with "maximum allowable concentrations in biological materials ", I should like to express some views on the value of measuring mercury and cadmium concentrations in urine. These remarks are based on findings in human subjects and in experimental animals. Mercury which is absorbed into the body is largely excreted in the urine. From this. aspect, therefore, determination of the ur...

OBJECTIVE Increasing rates of type 2 diabetes worldwide suggest that diabetes may be caused by environmental toxins. Cadmium is a widespread environmental pollutant that accumulates in the pancreas and exerts diabetogenic effects in animals. To test the hypothesis that exposure to cadmium is associated with impaired fasting glucose and type 2 diabetes, we examined the associations between urina...
