Abstract
Research progress in cadmium toxicity mechanisms and the antagonistic mechanisms of selenium to cadmium were reviewed. The toxic effects of cadmium are relevant to the cadmium-induced free radicals and lipid peroxidation and the effects of cadmium on other elements.They also have close relationship with metallothionein.The antagonism of selenium to cadmium is due to the antiox-idative effects of selenium, the formation of Se-Cd complexes and the selenium-induced redistribution of cadmium in vivo.
