Cadmium, carcinogen, co-carcinogen and anti carcinogen [PDF]

open access: yesIndian Journal of Clinical Biochemistry, 2001
As a stress agent, inducing apoptosis and blocking it, Cd can have both helpful and harmful effects. The atmosphere is a thin envelope which makes the worid a global village. Cd is the most toxic metal in air. As both the first and second messenger of the stress response, it is synergistically toxic with all other stressors, including many other ...
