| Abstract | ||
| This study was conducted to investigate the effect of cadmium on some blood components and bioaccumulation of cadmium in various tissues and organs for male albino mice Mus musculus . Mice were divided into three groups (5 mice/group). The first group was given a drinking water containing the concentration of (500)mg cadmium /L and second group (1500)mg cadmium/L. The third group was given distilled water and used as a control. All groups were treated daily for a period of (30) days. The results revealed a decrease in the haemoglobin concentration of blood , packed cell volume and total erythrocyte count in the blood of treatmed mice with those concentrations compared with control. The reduction in the above- mentioned parameters was progressive with the time of treatment and it was more prominent in animals treated with (1500) mg cadmium/L. It appears that the cadmium bioaccumulates in the various tissues and organs of treatmed mice, as the bioaccumulation of cadmium in animals treated with (500)mg /L. was follows as : Kidney> Liver > Skeletal muscles > bone, while the bioaccumulation of cadmium in animals treated with (1500) mg cadmium /L. was follows as : Liver >Kidney> Skeletal muscles > bone, compared with control. | ||
