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...
