Abstract

Background

The substances; Cadmium and lead are globally spread substances which are unchangeable and therefore harmful to the environment. They pollute the surroundings and are of considerable concern to individuals’ well-being. In real life situations, we have exposure to combinations of chemical substances as opposed to one form of chemical. It is hence of utmost significance in order to evaluate their toxic level. This experimentation was oriented towards studying the toxic consequences of acute cadmium in the blood and kidneys of rats. The former was also studied after being exposed to lead. In addition; the variations in the plasmatic hormonal profile, roles of the kidney and liver-from routinely being exposed to lead and cadmium, in cows, were also considered. The aforementioned was done by measuring proportions of cadmium in the livers and kidneys of rats. Alterations in the; hormonal, enzymatic and hematological state of rats, was also examined.
