Further Experimental Pathological Studies On The Effect Of Some Heavy Metais In Albino rats

Metals are differing from other toxic substances in that they are neither created nor destroyed by human. The most obvious conclusion to draw from this work is that aluminium and cadmium can produce very diverse effects on the different body organs and bowork. They were divided into five equal groups with 30 rats in each one. The 1 st and 2nd groups were given 10% and 5% LDso of aluminium chloride every day in drinking water for 3, 6 and 8months. The 3rd and 4th groups were given 10% and 5% LDso of cadmium chloride every day in drinking water for 3, 6 and 8 months. While the s” group served as a control group. Seven rats out of the ten sacrificed rats from each subgroup were subjected tohistopathologic examination and the other three rats were used toevaluate the effects of the tested heavy metals on the male fertility at3,6 and 8 months P.A.
