“…Exposure to cadmium has been associated with carcinogenesis in multiple tissues including breast, esophagus, stomach, intestines, prostate, lungs and testes [41,45,46]. Cadmium also has a proposed role in the development of cancer in the gallbladder.…”

“…Similar to other heavy metals, carcinogenic mechanisms associated with cadmium include generation of ROS, epigenetic alterations, inhibiting DNA repair processes and apoptosis [41,46,52,53]. It has been demonstrated that both chronic and acute cadmium exposure has the ability to induce changes in gene regulation, which generates an increased risk for malignant growth [44].…”

There has been increased concern surrounding exposure to heavy metals due to the evolving understanding of their role in the development of cancer. This review highlights research related to the impact that heavy metals aluminum, arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, lead, mercury, nickel and radium have on human health. Research was collected through PubMed, and it was compiled to assess the current knowledge of exposure sources, types of cancers induced and therapeutic measures for these metals. Furthermore, it was designed to assist in guiding future research efforts with respect to heavy metals and cancer.

“…Also, it has been proven that cadmium increases the production of free radicals in cells by interfering with antioxidant enzymes, removing sulfhydryl groups' bands by glutathione and substitution with copper, zinc and iron in proteins and reduces some antioxidants such as catalase, Super Oxide Dismutase (SOD) and glutathione reductase and glutathione peroxidase due to having thiols and causes lipid peroxidation (20). This causes impairing cell growth and differentiation, inhibiting apoptotic mechanisms, blocking repair mechanisms of DNA, signaling pathway and gene expression (36).…”

Abstract:Introduction: Cadmium is of the environmental pollutants and is considered as a part of the list of 126 top elements of environmental pollutants which has a long half-life in the body and is estimated at about 10 to 30 years. The use of herbal medicines because of having many antioxidants and lack of side effects is increasing in the today world to be a good alternative for chemical drugs. So the objective of the present study is to evaluate the effect of aqueous extract of the root of native edible asparagus in Iran (Asparagus officinalis L.) on the concentration of liver enzymes in male rats exposed to cadmium chloride.Method: 72 male rats were accidentally divided into the control, sham and test groups (100 mg/kg asparagus extract, 200 mg/kg asparagus extract, 400 mg/kg asparagus extract, 5 mg/kg cadmium chloride, cadmium chloride and 100 mg/kg asparagus extract, cadmium chloride and Abstract:Introduction: Cadmium is of the environmental pollutants and is considered as a part of the list of 126 top elements of environmental pollutants which has a long half-life in the body and is estimated at about 10 to 30 years.
