Evaluation of oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory cytokines in occupationally exposed cadmium workers.

CONCLUSION: Occupational exposure to even low levels of Cd may result in oxidative stress in workers primarily via decrease in antioxidant enzymes and increasing lipid peroxidation. Increased oxidative stress in turn may result in immune cell activation which may result in increased concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokine in the exposed workers.
