Lucile Ferreux: Prenatal Cadmium Exposure and Its Long-Term Impact on Male Fertility
Lucile Ferreux, Medical Director at Cesar Fertility, shared a post on LinkedIn about a paper by Xueming Xu et al. published in Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety:
“Cadmium Exposure During Pregnancy
- Experimental research, conducted in animals, analyzes the effects of prenatal exposure to cadmium on the testicular development of offspring, over several generations.
- It describes alterations in spermatogenesis and mitochondrial function in rats, with the abnormalities persisting in subsequent generations.
- These results are not directly transposable to humans, but they provide a useful biological model for understanding how certain environmental pollutants can affect reproduction.
- A scientific signal that underlines the importance of environmental prevention during pregnancy and the need for additional human data.
- Swipe to understand the method, observations, and limitations.
