Interaction of selenium with cadmium and mercury in semen and reproductive tissues: in vivo and in vitro studies

Creator:

Alabi, Nathaniel Sigismund

Abstract:

Studies were conducted to investigate the metabolism of selenium (Se) , and the influences of Se on the metabolism of cadmium (Cd) and inorganic mercury (Hg) in rats, and in ram semen in vitro. Se-deficient (-Se) or Se-adequate (+Se) rats were injected intraperitoneally with either ¹⁰⁹CdCl₂ (5 μCi/rat) or ²⁰³HgN0₃...
