Studies on Hepato and Renal Toxicity of Cadmium on Normal and Protein Malnourished Rats
نویسنده
چکیده
Various metals, in trace amounts, are essential for proper biological functioning. However, there are many heavy metals that are toxic and exposure to their high intake may result in serious adverse effects on health. Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most toxic pollutants in environment. Accumulation of Cd in blood affects the kidney and liver. The toxicity of cadmium is much affected by deficiency of certain dietary components.
