Abstraet--A laboratory study of cadmium exchangeability revealed large differences in extractable cadmium which are dependent on the exchange solution being utilized. The standard exchange solutions employed in this study were: N NaNO3, N NaOAc, N NH4OAc, NCaCI~, and 2N CaCI2, in order of increasing Cd removal. An interpretation of the chemical behavior of Cd and an experiment with mixed sodium...

Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic heavy metal, wide occupational and an environmental pollutant, affecting human health. Probiotics especially lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have the capacity to bind, remove and to decrease tissue cadmium levels. The objective was to evaluate the potency of Cd binding capacity, antioxidative properties of probiotic bacteria against cadmium in vitro and its probable de...

The present studies were carried out in order to assess the protective effects of selenium against cadmium toxicity in pregnant hamsters. On the 8 day of gestation the females were dosed subcutaneously either with cadmium or with cadmium and selenium in the following doses (mg per kilogram of body weight): 0, 1 Cd, 1 Cd + 1 Se, 2 Cd, 2 Cd + 2 Se. In groups treated with cadmium decreased litter ...

the so-called phytoextraction in which hyperaccumulator plants are used to remediate the contaminated soils is proven to be an efficient method. the objective of this study was to investigate the capability of spinach for phytoremediation of cadmium from cd-contaminated soils and determine the efficiency extent of spinach for phytoremediation. for this purpose, a randomized block experimental d...

OBJECTIVES The nephrotoxicity of cadmium at low levels of exposure, measured by urinary cadmium, has recently been questioned since co-excretion of cadmium and proteins may have causes other than cadmium toxicity. The aim of this study was to explore the relation between kidney function and low or moderate cadmium levels, measured directly in kidney biopsies. METHODS We analysed cadmium in ki...

Biofilm-forming marine bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa JP-11 was isolated from coastal marine sediment of Paradeep Port, Odisha, East Coast, India, which resisted up to 1,000 ppm of cadmium (Cd) as cadmium chloride in aerobic conditions with a minimal inhibitory concentration of 1,250 ppm. Biomass and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) secreted by the cells effectively removed 58.760 ± 1...

The influence of elevated cadmium content in diet on the content of this element in liver, kidney and testes of 68 male rats was studied in dependence on the chemical form of applied cadmium (as inorganic salt – CdCl2 and organically bound in yeast cells); the influence of elevated arsenic content (as NaAsO2) in diet on its content in the same organs was also investigated. The interactions betw...

The Importance of dissolved versus sediment-bound cadmium as uptake routes for the deposit-feeding polychaete Capitella species I and the toxicity and toxicokinetlcs of cadmium from these exposure routes were investigated. Effects were reported as changes in worm growth rate, egestion rate and allometry. Radioactive cadmium (""'Cd) was used as a tracer to examine the uptake (5 d) and subsequent...

This study was conducted to determine the histopathological and biochemical effects of humic acid on cadmium stress in liver and kidney tissues of Salmo trutta fario, L. The fish were treated in four groups as follows and were exposed to chemicals for 7 days: control (C), cadmium (2 ppm) (Cd), humic acid (5 ppm) (HA) and humic acid + cadmium (Cd + HA). At the end of the experimental period, liv...
