Effect of Cadmium on Lipid Peroxidation and on Some Antioxidants in the Liver, Kidneys and Testes of Rats Given Diet Containing Cadmium-polluted Radish Bulbs.

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of cadmium (Cd), incorporated in radish bulbs, on malondialdehyde and glutathione levels and on superoxide dismutase activity in the liver, kidneys and testes of male rats. The control animals were given diet containing ordinary radish bulbs for 4, 8 and 12 weeks, while contaminated animals were given diet containing Cd-polluted radish bulbs (1.1 mg Cd/g of diet) for the same periods as in the controls.

Effect of vitamin A supplemented diet on calcium oxalate renal stone formation in rats.

Objectives: To study the effect of a vitamin A supplemented diet on calcium-oxalate stone formation in rats and to test its expected action in the dissolution of renal calculi.

Material And Methods: Twenty-four male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups of eight rats each. The first group (group A) received a normal diet for six weeks.

Accumulation of cadmium and its effects on testis function in rats given diet containing cadmium-polluted radish bulb.

The aim of this study was to examine the accumulation of cadmium (Cd) incorporated in radish bulb and its effects on testes function in male rats. Control animals were given diet containing ordinary radish bulb for 4, 8 and 12 weeks, while contaminated animals were given diet containing Cd-polluted radish bulb (1.1 microg Cd/g of diet) for the same periods as in controls.
