Article Synopsis
- Chronic cadmium exposure is linked to diabetes development, but its effects on human populations remain debated.
- Research using a rat model showed that pancreatic β-cells can accumulate cadmium at non-lethal levels, leading to mitochondrial changes without immediate loss of function.
- While mitochondria initially adapt to moderate cadmium levels, long-term exposure may ultimately impair cellular function and contribute to diabetes-related issues in β-cells.
