Recently, Tianjin University of Science and Technology foodmate.

Cadmium pollution in the environment is an important source of cadmium exposure risk in the population.

In response to this basic scientific problem, the researchers used 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid (HPPA) as the representative substance of the end-products of chlorogenic acid intestinal metabolism, and established in vivo and in vitro cadmium exposure models to compare chlorogenic acid.

The research results were funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (31801453), the Special Funding Project of the Postdoctoral Science Foundation of China (2018T110194), and the “Outstanding Young Talent Support Program” project of the State Key Laboratory of Food Nutrition and Safety.
