Molecular insight into reproductive toxicity and transgenerational effects of Cadmium exposure on Drosophila melanogaster by Yi Pan, Ke Fan, Linhao Zong, Yantao Luo, Xin Ni, Dong Chen, Jinjun Qian, Fei Ma, Jie Cheng, Miao Guan

“…Although the evidence for Cd-induced reproductive toxicity is well established, it remains elusive on the intricate dose-response relationship and underlying molecular mechanisms, especially for transgenerational toxicity in animals. Here, we employed fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) as a model organism to examine the reproductive performance across five generations by parental exposure to varying concentrations of Cd (5, 50, and 500 μM). …”
