Intake of Heated Leaf Extract of Coriandrum sativum Contributes to Resistance to Oxidative Stress via Decreases in Heavy Metal Concentrations in the Kidney

This observational animal study investigated the effects of heated coriander (Coriandrum sativum) leaf extract on heavy metal accumulation and oxidative stress resistance in mice. After eight weeks of consuming water with 0.25% heated coriander extract, mice showed significantly reduced concentrations of iron, cadmium, and arsenic in the kidneys, but not

MER Zeolite with Remarkable Pb2+ and Cd2+ Removal Capability Cost-Effectively Synthesized from Postprocessed Natural Stellerite

This in vitro study presents a novel, cost-effective method for synthesizing MER zeolite from natural stellerite to remove toxic heavy metals like lead (Pb²⁺) and cadmium (Cd²⁺) from wastewater. The synthesized MER zeolite demonstrated outstanding removal efficiencies—99.7% for Pb²⁺ and 99.9% for Cd²⁺—across a broad pH range and in the

The effect of modified citrus pectin on urinary excretion of toxic elements

This pilot study investigated the effect of modified citrus pectin (MCP) on the urinary excretion of toxic metals in healthy individuals. Participants taking MCP for 5-6 days experienced significant increases in the excretion of arsenic (130%), cadmium (150%), and lead (560%) via urine, suggesting MCP’s potential to aid in detoxification

Tight sorption of arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and lead by edible activated carbon and acid-processed montmorillonite clay

This in vitro and animal study investigated the use of medical-grade activated carbon (MAC) and acid-processed montmorillonite clay (APM) as edible agents for binding and neutralizing heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and lead. Using adsorption/desorption isotherms and a simulated gastrointestinal model, the study demonstrated that MAC strongly adsorbs

β-Lactoglobulin Enhances Clay and Activated Carbon Binding and Protection Properties for Cadmium and Lead

This 2024 in vitro study explored the use of β-lactoglobulin, a whey protein, to enhance the heavy metal-binding capabilities of clay and activated carbon for detoxifying cadmium and lead. Researchers found that combining β-lactoglobulin with these adsorbents significantly increased their binding capacity, likely due to the protein’s chelating properties, which
