Abstract excerpt
Acute administration of cadmium (Cd) in rats results in hepatotoxicity that appears to involve the activation of Kupffer cells and the subsequent production of proinflammatory chemokines and cytokines. However, the importance of these endogenous mediators in Cd-induced hepatotoxicity is unknown. Therefore, this study was conducted to define and utilize a rat strain difference in sensitivity to Cd-induced...
