The cadmium toxicity hypothesis of aging: a possible explanation for the zinc deficiency hypothesis of aging.

Medical hypotheses - 1 Jun 1994

Bin Q H, Garfinkel D

Abstract excerpt

Although cadmium and zinc have similar chemical properties, they affect living organisms diversely: while zinc is an essential element for growth, development and functioning of all living cells, cadmium is a highly toxic material. Cadmium has an extremely long biological half-life and may be considered a cumulative toxin. It has been shown to have sterilizing, teratogenic and carcinogenic effects and most of...
