Subchronic dietary exposure of rats to cadmium alters the metabolism of metals essential to bone health [PDF]
, 2004 Cadmium (Cd) was recently identified as a risk factor for osteoporosis. Skeletal damage may be the critical effect of low-level long-term exposure to Cd in the general population exposed via food, but the mechanisms behind this are not clearly understood.

Metallothioneins, a Part of the Retinal Endogenous Protective System in Various Ocular Diseases
Antioxidants, 2023 Metallothioneins are the metal-rich proteins that play important roles in metal homeostasis and detoxification. Moreover, these proteins protect cells against oxidative stress, inhibit proapoptotic mechanisms and enhance cell differentiation and survival.

Cooperativity of Glucocorticoid Response Elements Located Far Upstream of the Tyrosine Aminotransferase Gene [PDF]
, 1987 Two glucocorticoid response elements (GREs) located 2.5 kb upstream of the transcription initiation site of the tyrosine aminotransferase gene were identified by gene transfer experiments and shown to bind to purified glucocorticoid receptor.

Neurosignals, 1994 The metal-binding protein, metallothionein (MT) has been found to be primarily produced by astrocytes in the rat and human brain. This review discusses the relationship of glial MT to the distribution of metals in the brain, possible roles of MT in the regulation of glial enzymes and other glial proteins, and the possible role of a subset of MT ...

Effects of Altering Freshwater Chemistry on Physiological Responses of Rainbow Trout to Silver Exposure [PDF]
, 1999 The influence of different water Cl- (50–600 μM), Ca2+ (50–1,500 μM), Na+ (50–1,500 μM), or dissolved organic carbon (DOC, 0.31–5 mg/L) levels on silver-induced physiological and biochemical perturbations of rainbow trout were investigated.
