Oral treatment of pregnant or lactating rats with Cd(NO3)2 in a dose of 2 mg/kg increased plasma and erythrocyte levels of MDA and reduced glutathione, activities of glutathione-S-transferase, glutathione reductase, and gamma-glutamyl transferase in their 4-month-old progeny. Changes in the function of glutathione system and LPO intensity after cadmium intoxication during the neonatal were less pronounced than after prenatal exposure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
