Liver and kidney concentrations of strontium, barium, cadmium, copper, zinc, manganese, chromium, antimony, selenium and lead in cats

Abstract: BackgroundIn order to provide new knowledge on the storage of strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), chromium (Cr), antimony (Sb), selenium (Se) and lead (Pb) in the feline organism, we measured the concentrations of these elements in the liver, renal cortex and renal medulla, evaluating also the impact of age, sex or the occurrence of a chronic kidney disease (CKD). The element concentrations in the tissues of 47 cats (22 male; 25 female; aged between 2 months and 1… Show more

“…The risk of negative consequences of both excessive and insufficient Mn in poultry diets is relatively high. Excess Mn accumulates mainly in bone tissue, but also in other organs, such as the liver, kidneys and brain [ 5 7 ]. Ionic Mn also interferes with chemical synapse functions and is able to cross the blood—brain barrier, and therefore chronic MN exposure may eventually lead to neurotoxicity and Parkinson-like symptoms [ 8 12 ].…”

“…It is unknown whether the changes in calcium and phosphate metabolism associated with progressive CKD also affect plasma Sr 2+ concentrations. Previously, in animal models with chronic renal failure, signs of increased Sr 2+ concentrations in serum, bone, the liver and the kidneys have been reported . We hypothesize that alterations in mineral metabolism in CKD are associated with increased plasma Sr 2+ concentrations.…”

“…Mean BMI was 33 ± 6 kg/ m 2 and in the study population 61% of the patients had a BMI above 30 kg/m 2 . Median duration of diabetes was 11 [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] years, and the glucose values of the patients were tolerably regulated with a mean HbA 1c of 57 ± 12 mmol/ mol. The majority used insulin (64%).…”

“…It is possible therefore that felids may have lower levels of SOD1 and SOD3 in their kidney per se, which could predispose them to oxidative damage which, over time, progresses toward chronic renal disease. Furthermore, a recent study showed that cats with CKD had lower levels of zinc stored in their kidneys compared to cats without renal disease 61 . However, the zinc content of kidney tissue in the www.nature.com/scientificreports www.nature.com/scientificreports/ current study did not differ with the presence or absence of CIN.…”
