    • Cadmium exposure during pregnancy reduces birth weight and increases maternal and foetal glucocorticoids 
      Ronco Macchiavello, Ana María; Urrutia,; Montenegro,; Llanos, Adolfo (2009)
      Cadmium exposure induces low birth weight through unknown mechanisms. Since low birth weight is associated to foetal exposure to high glucocorticoids (GC) concentrations, we hypothesized that low birth weight induced by ...
    • Efectos de exposición aguda a cadmio en la acción de estrógenos en útero de rata impúber 
      Tchernitchin Varlamov, Andrés; Olivares, Francisca; Aranda, Carlos; Bustamante Valdebenito, Rodrigo; Gaete González, Leonardo; Ferrada, Karla; Villagra, Rebeca; Vera, Jeanette; Iturbe, Ricardo J.; Kim, Yoon A.; Hernández, Natalia; Bizjak, Tina; Novsak, Spela (2008)
      Few information is available about uterine effects of Cadmium (Cd) exposure, where toxicagents affecting the female genital tract interact with estrogen (E) receptors, modifiying myometrial activityand the menstrual cycle, ...
    • Fetal growth restriction is related to placental levels of cadmium, lead and arsenic but not with antioxidant ... 
      Llanos Silva, Miguel; Ronco Macchiavello, Ana María (2009)
      The objectives of this study were: to measure some essential metals and toxicants in placentas of mothers delivering neonates with fetal growth restriction, and to establish potential associations between environmental ...
    • Microarray analysis of the Escherichia coli response to CdTe-GSH Quantum Dots: Understanding the bacterial ... 
      Monrás, Juan P.; Collao, Bernardo; Molina Quiroz, Roberto C.; Pradenas, Gonzalo A.; Saona, Luis A.; Durán Toro, Vicente; Órdenes Aenishanslins, Nicolás; Venegas, Felipe A.; Loyola, David E.; Bravo, Denisse; Calderón, Paulina F.; Calderón, Iván L.; Vásquez, Claudio C.; Chasteen, Thomas G.; López, Desiré A.; Pérez Donoso, José M. (BioMed Central, 2014)
      Background: Most semiconductor nanoparticles used in biomedical applications are made of heavy metals and involve synthetic methods that require organic solvents and high temperatures. This issue makes the development of ...
    • Plasma cadmium is associated with increased risk of long-term kidney graft failure 
      Sotomayor, Camilo G.; Groothof, Dion; Vodegel, Joppe J.; Eisenga, Michele F.; Knobbe, Tim J.; IJmker, Jan; Lammerts, Rosa G. M.; Borst, Martin H. de; Berger, Stefan P.; Nolte, Ilja M.; Rodrigo, Ramón; Slar, Riemer H. J. A.; Navis, Gerjan J.; Touw, Daan J.; Bakker, Stephan J. L. (Elsevier, 2021)
      The kidney is one of the most sensitive organs to cadmiuminduced toxicity, particularly in conditions of long-term oxidative stress. We hypothesized that, in kidney transplant recipients, nephrotoxic exposure to cadmium ...
    • Plasma lead concentration and risk of late kidney allograft failure: findings from the transplantlines ... 
      Sotomayor Campos, Camilo Germán; Giubergia Cánepa, Flavia Marta Grace; Groothof, Dion; Ferreccio Readi, Fresia Catterina; Nolte, Ilja M.; Navis, Gerjan J.; Gomes Neto, Antonio W.; Kremer, Daan; Knobbe, Tim J.; Eisenga, Michele F.; Rodrigo Salinas, Ramón Aníbal; Touw, Daan J.; Bakker, Stephan J.L. (W B Saunders Co-Elsevier, 2022)
      Rationale & Objective: Heavy metals are known to induce kidney damage, and recent studies have linked minor exposures to cadmium and arsenic with increased risk of kidney allograft failure, yet the potential association ...
