Summary.
Male CBA-mice were exposed to cadmium by subcutaneous injection of 2·2 μmol CdCl2/kg body weight for 5 days/week for 6 months. A decrease in normal (testosterone-dependent) proteinuria was shown, and morphological examination of the seminal vesicles revealed a smaller weight and size as well as histological indication of lower secretory activity of the epithelium compared to controls. The findings are consistent with a theory implying a decreased testosterone activity in cadmium-treated animals.
Reproduction is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
