ABSTRACT Metal contamination in aquatic ecosystems poses substantial risks to freshwater organisms, with mixture effects often deviating from predictions based on single‐metal toxicity. Understanding how age‐specific sensitivities and multiple exposure pathways influence mixture effects is critical for accurate risk assessment.

Background and Design.- Histopathological alterations to various organs of the different species in acute and chronic cadmium exposure have been studied by light and electron microscopy. Metallothionein is a protein inducible by heavy metal ions. The aim

ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd) is a persistent environmental heavy metal and a major public health concern because it persists in the body for long periods and gradually accumulates in vital organs, particularly the liver, kidneys, and brain. Chronic Cd exposure promotes the excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which ultimately leads to ...

Phytoremediation of Cadmium: Physiological, Biochemical, and Molecular Mechanisms
Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most toxic metals in the environment, and has noxious effects on plant growth and production. Cd-accumulating plants showed reduced growth and productivity.

ABSTRACT Epidemiological studies have demonstrated a link between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and environmental mercury (Hg) exposure. Colombia has a well‐documented history of artisanal and small‐scale gold mining, where Hg exposure affects miners and nearby riverside and urban populations. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of polymorphisms in

Metallothionein - ein prognostischer Marker für das Harnblasenkarzinom
Es wird der Zusammenhang zwischen der Konzentration an Metallothionein in Harnblasenkarzinomen mit der Gesamtüberlebenszeit, der tumorspezifischen Überlebenszeit, der rezidivfreien Überlebenszeit und der progressionsfreien Überlebenszeit untersucht. Zur

Zinc Supplementation Forms Influenced Zinc Absorption and Accumulation in Piglets
The study aimed at determining the effect of different zinc (Zn) supplementation forms on Zn accumulation, activities of Zn-containing enzymes, gene expression of metallothionein (MT), and Zn transporters in piglets.

ABSTRACT This study investigates the chronic effects of chlordecone (CLD) and propylparaben (PP), two pro‐estrogenic endocrine disruptors, on Hydra vulgaris Pallas, 1766 using a multiscale approach over a 14‐day exposure period. Environmentally relevant concentrations of CLD (0.5, 5, 20 μg L−1) and PP (0.01, 0.05, 0.40 μg L−1) were tested individually ...

Structure and properties of earthworm metallothionein-2 [PDF]
Since their discovery in the 1950s, metallothioneins (MTs) have been isolated from an array of organisms, from sea urchins to sheep, and pigs to peas.
