Abstract
Daily i.p. administration of 0.5 mg cadmium (Cd)/kg body weight to rats for 3 mo enhanced lipid peroxidation and inhibited superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in liver, kidney and testes. Accumulation of Cd and SOD inhibition was maximum in liver followed by kidney and testes, indicating a direct effect of Cd on SOD activity. This suggests a role of free radicals in causing cellular damage with long-term exposure to cadmium.Entities:
