Cadmium (Cd) is an environmental toxicant and a metabolic disturbance in organs and tissues in
humans. Cadmium compounds pathologically affect the liver, kidneys, cardiovascular system and
embryogenesis. The negative effects of cadmium salts on the reproductive system are manifested
in the violation of the function of germ cells, affect the fertilization and development of the early
embryo, which is extremely sensitive to toxicity of heavy metals. Modern researchers are actively
searching for bioantogonists of toxicity to heavy metal salts. Zinc is an essential element and
its compounds in the body have antagonistic characteristics of the toxicological properties
of cadmium compounds. Therefore, the study of the toxicological characteristics of cadmium
compounds and the search for its bioantogonists is an urgent problem of modern biology and
medicineRead More
