(author)The distribution of cadmium was examined in rats fed diets containing either cadmium-metallothionein (CdMt) or cadmium chloride (CdCl2) for 4 weeks. The test diets contained 3, 10, or 30 mg Cd/kg diet (3, 10, or 30 ppm) as CdMt or 30 mg Cd/kg diet (30 ppm) as CdCl2. A second study was performed to establish the Cd content in liver and kidneys...article 1991

(author), Verstegen, M.W.A. (author)The effects of lectins in the diet have been mainly studied in rats. An important question is whether results obtained in rats can be extrapolated to larger animals like the pig. Phaseolus vulgaris beans are rich in toxic lectins. Therefore a study was carried out to compare the effects of diets containing 200 g Phaseolus vulgaris beans (raw or...article 1990
