| Abstract: | Experiments on rats kept on the diets with different content of protein (18, 30 and 5%) and calcium (0,6, 2.4, 0.1%) for a month were made to study the absorption coefficient of labeled cadmium from the gastrointestinal tract. It was established that the quota of calcium and protein in the diet exerts an appreciable effect on cadmium chloride absorption via the gastrointestinal tract. The highest coefficient of cadmium absorption was recorded on excess protein (30%) and calcium deficiency (0,1%) in the diet, whereas the least one in the group of animals fed the diet with a low protein quota (5%). |
