Cadmium, an environmental trace metal, has been implicated as a possible factor in human hypertension. Although the epidemiological studies on humans exposed to cadmium are biased by certain additional factors, more detailed information is available from animal studies and in vitro experiments. The results demonstrate that cadmium influences the vasopressor-induced reactivity and the stress strain characteristics of the blood vessel wall. Thus, it is conceivable that cadmium might contribute to the elevation of blood pressure. But still more convincing data are necessary to clarify the link between cadmium exposure and the development of human hypertension.
镉是一种环境痕量金属，被认为可能是导致人类高血压的一个因素。尽管针对接触镉的人群开展的流行病学研究受到某些其他因素的影响存在偏差，但动物研究和体外实验能提供更详细的信息。结果表明，镉会影响血管升压素诱导的反应性以及血管壁的应力应变特性。因此，可以想象镉可能会导致血压升高。但仍需要更有说服力的数据来阐明镉暴露与人类高血压发展之间的联系。
