Characterization of Cadmium-Induced BiP Accumulation in Xenopus laevis A6 Kidney Epithelial Cells
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-19)In vertebrates, cadmium exposure is found to cause respiratory, neurological and kidney disorders. At the cellular level, cadmium can damage or modify proteins resulting in the production of toxic protein aggregates. The ... -
Chronic bioaccumulation and toxicity of cadmium from a periphyton diet to Hyalella azteca
(University of Waterloo, 2010-06-18)Dietary cadmium (Cd) can contribute significantly to chronic bioaccumulation and toxicity in aquatic organisms. This contribution needs to be quantified so that the relative importance of waterborne and dietary cadmium ... -
Examination of Cadmium-Induced Heat Shock Protein Gene Expression in Xenopus laevis A6 Kidney Epithelial Cells
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-21)Cadmium is a highly toxic chemical and has been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a human carcinogen. Cadmium is abundant in the environment, at specific work places, and in food and water. ... -
Metal Mixture Toxicity to Hyalella azteca: Relationships to Body Concentrations
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-25)A literature review of metal mixture interaction analyses identified that there was not a consistent method to determine the impact of metal mixtures on an aquatic organism. The review also revealed that a majority of the ... -
Structural investigation of a new cadmium coordination compound prepared by sonochemical process: Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface, thermal, TD-DFT and NBO analyses
(Elsevier, 2019-04)A new nanostructured cadmium complex containing a tridentate Schiff base ligand was sonochemically synthesized and characterized by XRPD, FT/IR, NMR, and single crystal X-ray crystallography. Structural data showed that ... -
Toxicity and bioaccumulation kinetics of cadmium and potassium permanganate in two clades within the 𝘏𝘺𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘢𝘻𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘢 species complex
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-12)The freshwater amphipod 𝘏𝘺𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘢𝘻𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘢 has been frequently used in toxicology since the 1980s due to its general sensitivity, ease of culture, and North America-wide geographic range. Over the past 20 years, ...
