Description
Kamil Bijowski and co-authors test whether zinc can guard rat jawbone against cadmium in a 2025 study. Cadmium is a toxic metal that builds up in bone and stirs harmful oxygen stress. Rats drank water with cadmium levels like moderate to high human exposure for a full year, with or without extra zinc.
Cadmium alone weakened the bone's antioxidant defences and damaged its DNA, proteins, and fats. Extra zinc, raising intake by at least seventy percent, blocked the metal's build-up in the jawbone. It also kept the oxidative balance steady and spared the cell building blocks. The authors offer this as first proof that zinc intake can blunt long-term cadmium harm to this bone.
