Inhibitory effect of cadmium on vitamin D-stimulated calcium transport in rat duodenum in vitro. 1978

F Tsuruki, and Y Otawara, and H L Wung, and S Moriuchi, and N Hosoya

In vitro effect of cadmium on vitamin D-stimulated calcium transport in the rat was studied using the everted gut sac technique. Calcium transport was significantly inhibited by the addition of cadmium to the mucosal incubation medium. Furthermore, the kinetic analysis of inhibitory effect of cadmium on calcium transport revealed that the type of inhibition was competitive. The apparent "Km" and "Vmax" value for calcium was 1.0 mM, and 2.86 mumoles ml-1.hr-1, respectively. An apparent "Ki" for cadmium was 0.02 mM.

D008274 Magnesium A metallic element that has the atomic symbol Mg, atomic number 12, and atomic weight 24.31. It is important for the activity of many enzymes, especially those involved in OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION.
D002104 Cadmium An element with atomic symbol Cd, atomic number 48, and atomic weight 112.41. It is a metal and ingestion will lead to CADMIUM POISONING.
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
