The relationship between cadmium exposure and renal volume in inhabitants of a cadmium-polluted area of Japan

Xian Liang Sun et al.

Summary: A 30-year follow-up study in a cadmium-polluted area of Japan showed fluctuations in urinary cadmium concentrations among men and women. The study revealed that urinary N-acetyl-beta-d-glucosaminidase/creatinine (U-NAG/Cr) and serum alkaline phosphatase were sensitive biomarkers for reflecting renal and bone damage caused by cadmium poisoning.

The current status of osteoporosis after 15 years of reduced cadmium exposure among residents living in cadmium-contaminated areas in northwestern Thailand

Aroon La-up et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of osteoporosis after 15 years of reduced cadmium exposure and investigate the association between urinary cadmium (U-Cd) and osteoporosis. The results showed that despite discontinued cadmium exposure for over a decade, the toxic effects on bone continued, especially in women. Increasing levels of U-Cd were correlated with decreasing bone mineral density, with the association between U-Cd and osteoporosis being significant at concentrations of U-Cd >= 10 mu g/g creatinine.

Exposure to multiple metals/metalloids and human semen quality: A cross-sectional study

Aldo E. Calogero et al.

Summary: The study found that environmental exposure to lead and cadmium contributes to a decline in human semen quality, while selenium may have beneficial effects. Measurements of metals/metalloids in the seminal fluid may be more predictive of semen quality than conventional blood measurements.

Chronic cadmium exposure at environmental-relevant level accelerates the development of hepatotoxicity to hepatocarcinogenesis

Yajie Xu et al.

Summary: The study revealed that chronic low-dose Cd exposure promotes liver toxicity, fibrosis, inflammation, and cancer progression in mouse models. Cd also enhances angiogenesis and fibrosis, with PPAR and ERBB signaling pathways identified as potential pathways for the toxicity of chronic Cd exposure. The effects of Cd on fibrosis and angiogenesis were more pronounced in male mice.

MicroRNA-363-3p promotes apoptosis in response to cadmium-induced renal injury by down-regulating phosphoinositide 3-kinase expression

Jiabin Chen et al.

Summary: This study investigated the role of miR-363-3p in Cd-induced nephrotoxicity in occupational workers. The findings suggest that the increase of miR-363-3p is associated with down-regulation of PI3K and suppressed proliferation and enhanced apoptosis of renal tubule epithelial cells. MiR-363-3p may be considered for possible therapeutic strategies for Cd-associated kidney damage.

Blood lead and cadmium levels are negatively associated with bone mineral density in young female adults

Jianfeng Lu et al.

Summary: This study found that both blood lead levels (BLL) and blood cadmium levels (BCL) were independently and negatively associated with lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) among young females, but not among young males.
