Implication

This review outlines how heavy metals disrupt cellular processes and suggests detoxification strategies.

Key Points

  • Heavy metals induce oxidative stress and DNA damage at cellular levels, leading to significant health issues.
  • Chronic exposure to metals like lead and mercury is linked to carcinogenesis and neurotoxicity, with alarming implications.
  • The review analyzes mechanisms like mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammatory responses in heavy metal toxicity.
  • Understanding these mechanisms aids in developing preventive measures and therapeutic interventions for health risks.
