"Indeed..." Yang Ping muttered to himself. His reasoning was initially verified.
The combined effects of cobalt and cadmium could disrupt Ms. Lin's bone health through various pathways: direct osteocyte toxicity, interference with mineral metabolism, especially affecting calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium reabsorption through kidney damage, and potential oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. High bone turnover means bones are "busy for nothing," constantly tearing down one wall to build another, but the quality of new bone matrix may be poor, poorly mineralized or with abnormal collagen cross-linking, leading to reduced bone strength, microscopic damage, and pain at stress concentration sites. Tubular damage is a typical early manifestation of cadmium toxicity.
