Absorption and tissue distribution of cadmium in mice after chronic feeding with cadmium chloride and cadmium-methallothionein
Description
Mice were fed 20 μg cadmium chloride (CdCl2) and cadmium-methallothionein (CdMt) once a week for 5 weeks using Cd-109 as a tracer. Body burden measurements suggest that the levels in tissues drop after the third week when CdMt is the source, but continue to increase with CdCl2. Tissue distribution is tabulated as % retained cadmium for various organs tested. Major sites of accumulations are the liver, kidneys, pancreas, and gastrointestinal tract
