SERUM MINERAL PROFILE OF RABBITS AFTER AN EXPERIMENTAL ADMINISTRATIONOF CADMIUM

A mineral profile of rabbits after an experimental intraperitoneal (1. 5 mg . kg(-1)) and peroral (1.0 mg . kg(-1) for 5 months) administrati on of cadmium was studied. There were no significant differences of ma gnesium, chlorides, sodium, potassium and ratio Na/K in all experiment al groups. We found significant differences in the concentration of ph osphorus, calcium and ratio Ca/P in the group application in compariso n with i.p. application in comparison with the control group and the g roup with chronic p.o. application. There were no significant differen ces in concentration of these parameters among the control group and t he group with chronic administration with cadmium.
