“…The two metals that seem to have a special affinity for the testicular tissue are constituents of various alloys and solders. Cigarette smoke is an additional source of cadmium and may add to the body burden of cadmium in certain workers [Ostergaard, 1977;Scott et al, 1976;Ponteva et al, 19791-apart from the observation that smoking might be able to promote the resorption of carcinogenic materials by alteration of the respiratory mucosa [Selikoff et al, 19681. Among the cases of this study, there were more smokers than in the control group, but the difference reaches statistical significance only for the nonseminomas ( Table IV).…”

“…E.I) and also to the formation of kidney stones (FRmERG 1950;AHLMARK et al 1961;AxELSSON 1963). In a group of coppersmiths exposed to cadmium, SCOTT et al (1976SCOTT et al ( , 1978 found an increased prevalence of urinary tract stones associated with a highly significant hypercalciuria and reduced serum inorganic phosphate. SCOTT et al (1980) were also able to demonstrate by neutron activation analysis a significant deficit (P < 0.01) in whole body calcium in 15 coppersmiths as compared with two groups of control subjects.…”

“…Apesar de existirem vários modelos tentando elucidar o mecanismo de toxicidade do cádmio, ainda não se conseguiu definir com precisão tal mecanismo. A intoxicação pelo cádmio é caracterizada por dano renal com proteinúria 19 . Os achados em animais de laboratório fornecem informações importantes dos efeitos nefrotóxicos.…”
