Cadmium-zinc interactions on reproductive function

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the reproductive effects of cadmium (Cd) and the protective role of zinc (Zn), this study investigates their interactions in female zebrafish (Danio rerio). It aims to elucidate the toxic impact of Cd and how Zn supplementation may mitigate these effects. The research examines various parameters, including ovarian function, tissue histology, and oxidative status, alongside the fixation of Cd and levels of Zn in tissues. Additionally, it explores the role of membrane transporters in these processes, providing insights into the underlying mechanisms of toxicity and protection.
