Cadmium is known as a toxicant for animals and human beings. Despite of its toxic properties it is used in many industrial branches. Thus, people are likely to be exposed to cadmium due to professional and environmental reasons. The underlying mechanisms of cadmium toxication are oxidative stress, oxidative stress-related inflammation and interaction with bio-elements. Many studies have reported a protective role of zinc against cadmium toxication in animals and at cellular levels. Thus, this review revealed the protective effect of zinc from antioxidant and anti-inflammatory perspectives. In this study, documents analyzing the interaction between Zn and Cd in metabolism were examined.
