Cadmium - a metallohormone? - 0 views

  •  
    Great review article on the endocrine disrupting role of Cadmium.  Cadmium binds to the ER-alpha inducing an estrogen signal.  Cadmium also binds to the androgen receptor as well.  This study proposes a similar activation of ER-alpha and AR by Cadmium.

  •  
    Animal study finds that Cadmium is estrogenic.  This study found that not only was Cadmium an endocrine disruptor for the pregnant animals, but was also estrogenic in the mammary glands of the offspring.

  •  
    Several interesting points about this article.  Cadmium is a non-carcinogen.  Cadmium acts through estrogen receptors.  Cd acts as an estrogen.  Second, melatonin inhibits ER alpha, which promotes inflammation and growth signaling.

Association between Lead and Cadmium and Reproductive Hormones in Peripubertal U.S. Girls - 0 views

  •  
    Study finds higher Pb levels in young girls is associated with delayed puberty onset.  This occurs through an inverse relationship with inhibin B and follicular development.  This relationship was also found with Cadmium.  Both of these heavy metals are toxic to the ovaries.
