Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Zinc reduced cadmium uptake in wheat.
- Intervention effect Cadmium exposure increased wheat PC-SH levels in concentration, tissue and time dependent ways.
- Intervention effect Zinc exposure increased wheat PC-SH levels in concentration, tissue and time dependent ways.
- Intervention effect Cadmium was more effective than zinc at stimulating wheat PC-SH production.
- Association Cadmium and zinc interactions could be synergistic or inhibitory for wheat PC-SH production depending on duration and concentration.
- Intervention effect Cadmium stimulated wheat GSH production in concentration, tissue and time dependent ways.
- Intervention effect Zinc had no significant effect on wheat GSH levels.
- Intervention effect Zinc with cadmium reduced wheat GSH levels compared with cadmium alone, depending on tissue.
- Recommendation The authors recommend accounting for metal interactions when using PCs and GSH as toxicity biomarkers.
