The Role of Antioxidants in the Prevention of Cadmium-Induced Endothelial Dysfunction

This review explores how cadmium (Cd) exposure impairs endothelial function—primarily through oxidative stress—and how antioxidants can mitigate these effects. Cd induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, reduces nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability, and disrupts vasodilatory function, contributing to vascular inflammation and hypertension. The article reviews in vitro and in vivo studies

The Role of Natural Antioxidants Against Reactive Oxygen Species Produced by Cadmium Toxicity: A Review

This review article explores the mechanisms by which cadmium (Cd) induces oxidative stress and evaluates the potential protective roles of natural antioxidants. Cd exposure disrupts cellular redox homeostasis through the excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to damage in lipids, proteins, and DNA. The review highlights natural antioxidant

Cadmium Toxicity and Treatment

This comprehensive review examines cadmium, a highly toxic heavy metal with widespread environmental and occupational exposure. Cadmium accumulates in the body, particularly in the kidneys and liver, leading to multi-organ damage. Chronic exposure is associated with renal dysfunction, bone demineralization, and increased cancer risk. The primary sources of cadmium exposure
