Journal ArticleDOI
Cadmium : Toxic effects on the reproductive system and the embryo
Jennifer Thompson,John Bannigan +1 more
TL;DR: The mechanisms by which Cd can affect reproductive health are examined, and the use of micronutrients in prevention of these problems is considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of cadmium on cell death and cell proliferation in chick embryos.
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the ventral body wall defect resulting from Cd treatment in chick embryos is the result of changes in the somites perhaps following interruption of a signalling pathway originating in ectoderm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epigenetic Effect of Cadmium on Global De Novo DNA Hypomethylation in the Cadmium-Induced Ventral Body Wall Defect (VBWD) in the Chick Model
TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that Cd impacts on the expression levels of DNMT3A/3B, which may underlie the pathogenesis of VBWD in the Cd chick model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of cadmium on formation of the ventral body wall in chick embryos and their prevention by zinc pretreatment.
Jennifer Thompson,John Bannigan +1 more
TL;DR: Cd disrupts peridermal cell adhesion and induces cell death in the mesoderm, which may result in abnormal growth of lateral plate mesmoderm and in a body wall defect in chick embryos.
Journal ArticleDOI
Omphalocele induction in the chick embryo by administration of cadmium.
Jennifer Thompson,John Bannigan +1 more
TL;DR: The cadmium-treated chick embryo is a reliable model for exomphalos and a positive association was found between exomphaos and lumbar lordosis in the chick.
