Effect of Dietary Cadmium on Growth, Cadmium Absorption and Cadmium Tissue Levels in Growing Lambs

<b>Semen traits, testicular morphometry and histopathology of cadmium-exposed rabbit bucks administered methanolic extract of <i>Phoenix dactylifera</i> fruit

“…Contrary to the result of semen traits obtained in this study, Doyle, Pfander, Grebing, and Pierce (1974) found that when cadmium chloride was administered to 4 months-old ram at a dose of 60 mg kg -1 feed for 191 days, sperm concentration, was unaffected. Also, Lymberopoulos, KotsakiKovatsi, Taylor, Papaioannou, and Brikas (2000) found that sperm viability, grade motility and the percentage of live dead -1 , and the number of morphologically abnormal spermatozoa was not affected by 3 mg kg -1 body weight of cadmium chloride orally for 7 months in Chios ram-lambs.…”

Cadmium content of indicator and target organs in rats after graded doses of cadmium

“…Several authors have found no effect on growth, food consumption and water intake with low doses (up to 30 ppm) of Cd in food or drinking water of rats, 45 " 47 dogs 48 and sheep. 49 On the other hand, other authors have found a significant effect of low as well as higher doses of Cd on growth, food-and water intake in swine, 14 rats 19 -34 -41 -46 and sheep. 49 Kello, Dekanic and Kostial 40 found that one year old male rats retained only half as much 115 Cd as female rats or gonadectomized male or female rats, and suggested that this was due to the presence or absence of male sex hormones.…”

We found no difference in Cd content expressed as )ug/g wet weight of organ between males and females, but our rats were sacrificed 70 days old, and were thus not yet fully sexually mature.…”
