Abstract
Zinc acetate was injected i.p. into female rats to try to clarify the detailed induction and degradation pathways of zinc-thionein (Zn-th) at isometallothionein levels in liver and kidneys. Injected zinc in serum decreased with the induction of Zn-th in the liver and kidneys, and the amounts of Zn-th in both tissues attained maxima 24 h after injection. The relative ratios of isometallothioneins changed with time in both tissues. The changes are compared with those of cadmium (Cd) loading.Entities:
