Early-Life Exposure to Cadmium Triggers Distinct Zn-Dependent Protein Expression Patterns and Impairs Brain Development
The objective of this study was to determine if the brain development impairment induced by early-life exposure to cadmium (Cd) could result from changes in the expression pattern of distinct zinc (Zn)-depende...

Involvement of Zn Depletion in Cd-Induced Toxicity on Prenatal Bone Formation in Rat
This study explored the potential toxicity of Cd on the Zn bone depletion in prenatal bone formation. Female rats received either tap water, Cd, Zn, or Cd + Zn in their drinking water during gestation, and som...

Changes of the mRNA Expression Pattern of Zn Transporters: a Probable Mechanism for Cadmium Retention and Zinc Redistribution in the Suckling Rat Tissues
The present study was conducted to provide potential mechanism that may be responsible for Cd retention and Cd-induced Zn redistribution in tissues of suckling rat. For this purpose, suckling rats from mother ...
