Effects of Heavy Metal Toxicity on Different Animal Models

Abstract

Abstract: Due to the widespread environmental contamination caused by heavy metal toxicity, is becoming a growing threat to all biological life form on Earth. In this case animal models play had an urgent impact in figuring out the impacts of heavy metal exposure on different animal species. The negative effects of heavy metals such as Hg, Pb, Cr, Cd, and as has been seen in animals’ models to cause damage to various organs such as nervous, respiratory and reproductive systems. Additionally, the translational implications for human health and differences in animal sensitivity to heavy metal toxicity are also investigated. This survey study aims to provide a thorough overview of how heavy metal poisoning affects diverse animal models. The advantages and disadvantages of various animal models for heavy metal toxicity research are highlighted in this discussion. This review emphasizes the need for additional research in this area and the significance of animal studies in elucidating the dangers and potential effects of heavy metal toxicity.
