Urinary cadmium concentrations and intake of nutrients, food groups and dietary patterns in women from Northern Mexico

Gisela Flores-Collado et al.

Summary: The study found that daily consumption of non-starchy vegetables, legumes, and processed meats is positively associated with urinary cadmium concentrations, while the intake of vegetable oil is negatively associated. Moreover, women under 50 years of age with a lower iron intake than recommended have higher cadmium concentrations. Food is both a source of cadmium exposure and provides nutrients that modulate its metabolism. It is crucial to develop dietary guidelines to reduce the health effects of cadmium exposure.

Periconceptional diet quality and its relation to blood heavy metal concentrations among pregnant women: The Japan environment and Children?s study

Hitomi Okubo et al.

Summary: This study examined the associations between maternal diet quality before pregnancy and circulating concentrations of heavy metals during pregnancy. The results showed that a high-quality diet may reduce the risk of exposure to lead and cadmium, but not mercury. Further research is needed to determine the optimal balance between mercury exposure risk and nutritional benefits of high-quality diets before pregnancy.

A state-of-the-art review on cadmium uptake, toxicity, and tolerance in rice: From physiological response to remediation process

Pedda Ghouse Peera Sheikh Kulsum et al.

Summary: This review focuses on the dynamics of cadmium (Cd) in paddy soil, the translocation pathways from soil to rice consumption, and the bio-accessibility of Cd in human consumption. The factors affecting Cd movement in soil and its transfer to rice grains are elucidated. Ecologically viable remediation approaches and advances in understanding Cd transport in rice plants are also highlighted.

Cadmium and lead bioavailability to poultry fed with contaminated soil-spiked feed

Liping Li et al.

Summary: This study investigates the relative bioavailability of heavy metals consumed by chickens through contaminated soils. The results show that the femur Cd concentrations in chickens fed with soil spiked treatments were twice as high as those in Cd-spiked treatments with similar feed Cd levels. Cadmium and Pb bioavailability values can help estimate the accumulation of Cd and Pb in chicken following heavy metal-contaminated soil ingestion, thus protecting human health.

Phytoremediation of cadmium from soil, air and water

Guanyan Li et al.

Summary: Potentially toxic elements (PTEs) present a serious threat to ecosystems, and prolonged exposure can have detrimental effects on wildlife and humans. Cadmium, in particular, has been linked to various diseases such as cancer, kidney dysfunction, bone lesions, anemia, and hypertension. This review focuses on the ability of plants to accumulate cadmium from different environmental sources and the factors that influence this process. Plants employ various mechanisms and pathways for cadmium transport, and the excessive concentrations of cadmium in the environment can affect soil properties, pH levels, and microorganism composition, thereby influencing plant uptake. Additionally, plants utilize antioxidant reactions to defend against cadmium toxicity. Further exploration is needed to determine the implications of differences in cadmium absorption capacity for crop breeding or genetic modification, as well as identifying the potential of plants to become hyperaccumulators and preventing excessive cadmium uptake by edible plants. The use of activators such as wood vinegar, GLDA (Glutamic acid diacetic acid), earthworms, and fungi can enhance phytoremediation, reducing crop uptake and human exposure, thereby promoting food safety and environmental health.

Assessment soil cadmium and copper toxicity on barley growth and the influencing soil properties in subtropical agricultural soils

Xiaoqing Zhang et al.

Summary: Evaluating the joint phytotoxicity of cadmium (Cd) and copper (Cu) in a wide range of subtropical agricultural soils is crucial for the phytoremediation of Cd and Cu-contaminated soils. This study found that Cd and Cu individually inhibited barley root elongation by around 50% and over 50%, respectively. The combined Cd + Cu caused significant inhibition on barley growth, with pH acting as a controlling factor in predicting their toxicity.

Blood Concentrations and Dietary Intake of Cd among the General Population in South Korea

Chan-Seok Moon

Summary: This study aimed to identify the time trends of blood Cd concentrations and their correlation with the Cd-B and the intakes of food groups as an influencing factor for Cd exposure among the general population in South Korea. The study found that the blood Cd concentration decreased significantly from 2005 to 2017, possibly due to a decrease in the intake of food groups of plant origin.

Summary: This study assessed the impact of cadmium exposure on human health and found a positive correlation between cadmium exposure and biomarkers of toxicity. Despite the positive correlation between dietary and urinary cadmium estimates, dietary cadmium intake showed inconsistent results with the study endpoints and generally weaker associations.

Janja Snoj Tratnik et al.

Summary: The study aims to estimate the current exposure to cadmium in Europe and identify the determinants of exposure. The results show that food consumption, traffic, and point source release are significant sources of exposure. Although no distinct geographic patterns were observed, some areas exceeded the age-dependent alert values for cadmium. The findings emphasize the need to control and reduce cadmium exposure.

No significant risks to human health were identified, and the catfish Pimelodella laticeps may serve as a sentinel species for biomonitoring in Neotropical fish assemblages.

An updated systematic review on the association between Cd exposure, blood pressure and hypertension

Airton C. Martins et al.

Summary: The study reevaluated the relationship between cadmium exposure and altered blood pressure, finding a positive association between blood cadmium levels and blood pressure and/or hypertension. However, conflicting results and a lack of representative population-based studies of non-smokers leave uncertainty about the association between urinary cadmium and blood pressure and/or hypertension. Additional longitudinal studies are urgently needed to confirm the findings.

Summary: The study found that exposure to Cd increases the risk of ASCVD and asymptomatic atherosclerosis in the carotid and coronary arteries, but it has not been confirmed at exposure levels below a certain threshold. While adjusting for smoking does not eliminate the possibility of residual confounding, several studies have shown associations between Cd and ASCVD in non-smoking cohorts, and experimental studies have demonstrated the pro-atherosclerotic effects of Cd.

Summary: High sodium and low potassium intake are associated with increased blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk. Adherence to a Mediterranean diet can lead to higher potassium intake but has limited effect on reducing sodium intake. In a Northern Italy community, average sodium intake exceeded recommendations while potassium intake was slightly below the recommended levels.

Summary: The study aimed to assess urinary selenium excretion and dietary selenium intake in 137 healthy non-smoking blood donors. Results showed a correlation between urinary selenium and dietary selenium, but divergent associations with health endpoints. Higher selenium exposure was found to be adversely associated with blood glucose levels and lipid profile, even within tolerable upper intake levels.
