Bone mineral density and polymorphisms in metallothionein 1A and 2A in a Chinese population exposed to cadmium.

The Science of the total environment - 15 Apr 2012

Abstract excerpt

Cadmium (Cd) effect on bone varies between individuals. We investigated whether genetic variation in metallothionein (MT)1A and MT2A associated with Cd induced bone loss in this study. A total of 465 persons (311 women and 154 men), living in control, moderately and heavily polluted areas, participated. The participants completed a questionnaire and the bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by dual energy x-ray...
