Abstract


The article presents analytical review of new data regarding the processes of Cadmium intake in human and animal organisms and accumulation of this heavy metal in organs and tissues. Biochemical mechanisms of Cadmium absorption in digestive tract and respiratory system, Cd2+ transport to the cells, interaction with molecules of metallothionein and other proteins are reviewed. Regulation of Cadmium metabolism in animals and human is also considered.


Keywords


Cadmium, heavy metals, organism, membrane transport, accumulation, metallothionein
