Effect of Cadmium on the Mineral Compositions in the Serum, Tibia and Teeth of Albino Rat

백서(白鼠)의 혈청(血淸), 경골(硬骨) 및 치아(齒牙)의 무기성분(無機成分)에 미치는 카드뮴의 영향(影響)

This experiment was undertaken to determine the effect of several levels of cadmium on growth and some mineral concentrations in the serum, tibia and teeth of rats. The results obtained are summarized as follows. Growth rate was significantly decreased as the feeding level of cadmium increased, especially body weight in the 40 ppm level was greatly reduced than that of initial body weight. The weight of liver was increased in 40 ppm group as a result of edema. But the weight of kidney, heart, spleen, lung and testis was not affected. The cadmium concentration of serum was higher in rats receiving 40 ppm than that of other levels, and the concentrations of iron, zinc, copper, magnesium and calcium were decreased as the cadmium content of drinking water increased. The cadmium and phosphorus contents of tibia were greatly high in the 40 ppm level, but the content of iron copper, zinc, magnesium, calcium and ash tended to be decreased with increasing level of cadmium. The cadmium concentration of teeth was predominantly high compared with that of the serum and tibia. Also, the concentration of iron, copper and zinc tended to be dedrased with increasing cadmium level, but the contents of magnesium, calcium and ash tended to be increased.

무기질(無機質) 상호간(相互間)에 미치는 영향을 검토(檢討)코저 $CdCl_2$ 용액(溶液)을 음료수(飮料水)(0, 5, 10, 20, 40ppm)로하여 백서(白鼠)에게 4주간(週間) 투여(投與)하였을 때 혈액(血液), 경골(硬骨) 및 치아(齒牙) 중의 무기성분함량(無機成分含量)을 측정(測定) 고찰(考察)한 결과(結果)는 다음과 같다. 1. Cd급여수준(給與水準)이 높아짐에 따라 현저한 체중감소(體重減少)와 낮은 사료효율(飼料效率)을 나타내었다. 2. 단위체중(單位體重) 당 장기중량(臟器重量)은 간장(肝臟)이 증가(增加)했는 반면에 다른 장기(臟器)들은 아무런 영향을 받지 않는다. 3. 혈청(血淸) 중의 Cd함량(含量)은 40ppm군(群)에서 현저하게 높았으나, Fe, Cu, Zn 및 Mg함량(含量)은 감소(減少)하였다. 4. 경골(硬骨) 중의 Cd함량(含量)과 P함량(含量)은 40ppm군(群)에서 많아졌으나, Fe, Cu, Zn, Mg, Ca함량(含量) 및 회분함량(灰分含量)은 Cd급여수준(給與水準)을 높일수록 감소(減少)하는 경향(傾向)을 나타내었다. 5. 치아(齒牙) 중의 Cd함량(含量)은 혈액(血液)과 경골(硬骨)에서 보다 훨씬 많았으며, Fe, Cu, Zn 및 P함량(含量)은 Cd급여수준(給與水準)을 높일수록 감소(減少)하는 경향(傾向)을 나타내었고, Mg함량(含量)과 회분함량(灰分含量)은 증가(增加)하는 경향(傾向)을 나타내었다.
