Abstract
Histological investigation revealed cadmium-induced lipofuscin formati on in hepatopancreatic cells of the crustacean isopod, Idotea baltica. A comparison of lipofuscin induction by cadmium and by copper showed that cadmium has a weaker peroxidative action than copper. The effect of cadmium was reduced by the simultaneous presence of zinc, which on its own was ineffective in lipofuscin induction. A tentative explanati on of the interactive effects of these materials is suggested.
