Lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) are naturally occurring heavy metals
which have been redistributed to a large extent by man in the environment.
These metals have certain common toxic sites of action on
biological systems of mammals. Simultaneous exposure to Pb and Cd
is highly probable due to common sources...
The aim of this study was to assess sensitivity of early life stage zebrafish to cadmium (Cd). Embryos and larva were exposed to Cd before the formation of skeletal elements. Exposure times were selected to determine whether Cd perturbed developmental processes that lead to skeletal deformities, and to characterize the...
