Iron promotes cadmium binding to citrate
Abstract
Iron‐cadmium interactions are important in cadmium toxicity. Dietary iron supplements may decrease cadmium retention after oral cadmium exposure but the underlying mechanism is not known. Using a CdS/AgS ion selective electrode to measure [Cd2+] in physiological saline solution at pH 7.4, we show that Fe2+ promotes Cd2+ binding to citrate thereby decreasing the availability of free Cd2+. This suggests the formation of high molecular weight …
