Fetal effects of cadmium in pregnant rats on normal and zinc deficient diets

Fetal effects of cadmium in pregnant rats on normal and zinc deficient diets

D C Parzyck et al. Bull Environ Contam Toxicol. 1978 Feb.

Abstract

This investigation has shown that not only the extent of fetal resoprtion and malformation but also the types of malformation seen in rats depend upon the strain used and day of gestation. Furthermore, the effects of zinc deficiency and cadmium administration on the fetus can be at least additive, as was seen for malformations. For fetal resorption, zinc deficiency potentiated the action of cadmium.
