The Effect of Cadmium (II) Ions on Reactive Oxygen Species in Rats

Male Wistar rats were administered 5 mg kg−1 cadmium cholorid, intraperitoneally, once daily for 7 days. Exposure to cadmium caused a significant decrease in blood peroxidase (GPx) and decreased superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and an increase in thiobarbituric acid reactive substances. These biochemical changes were correlated with an increased uptake of cadmium concentration in blood.
