As a ubiquitously present metal, cadmium (Cd) represents a matter of great concern, especially considering its potential thyroid disrupting capacity. The study evaluated the connection between this environmentally relevant metal exposure and thyroid hormone levels. The DecodExpo study enrolled 425 participants (207 males and 218 females) with various disorders (236 participants) and healthy controls (189 participants). Collected blood samples were digested, and Cd levels were ...

Cadmium (Cd) is a ubiquitously present toxic metal with an established ability to induce endocrine disruption, in literature often referred to as metalloestrogen. Some of the major uncertainties connected with endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in general, are low-dose exposure and the presence of nonmonotonic dose-response curves. This study aims to elucidate the presence of a dose-response relationship between the measured Cd levels in the tissue (internal dose) and estro...
