Cadmium Toxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans: Mechanisms and Interventions by Vitamin C and Fruit Juices

With the rapid development of industry, heavy metal pollution has emerged as a significant threat to food safety and human health. Among these pollutions, cadmium (Cd) pollution has become a global environmental concern. Caenorhabditis elegans, with its short life cycle and evolutionary conservation with humans, serves as an ideal model organism for studying toxicity mechanisms. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms of toxicity induced by Cd in C. elegans and the intervention of...
