Metallothionein (MT), induced in different organs in response to heavy metals and oxidative conditions, exerts antioxidant properties and thus could be implicated in cardiovascular physiopathology. The aim of this study was to investigate the capacity of cadmium (Cd) and isoproterenol to induce in v

Cadmium (Cd) exposure in mice induces transcription of metallothionein (MT) mRNA and protein accumulation in both liver and kidney. Resistance to hepatotoxicity through chronic exposure to heavy metals is the result of this induction. However, the same chronic exposure results in damage to kidney. W
