Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Because iron and cadmium share common transport mechanisms, iron-processing protein variants such as HFE C282Y, HFE H63D, and Transferrin P570S may influence cadmium metabolism. Our aim was to evaluate associations between common HFE and Transferrin polymorphisms and toenail cadmium levels among older men. METHODS: In a longitudinal cohort of men age 51-97, the Normative Aging Study (NAS), we...
