Effect of Magnesium Supplementation on the Distribution Patterns of Zinc, Copper, and Magnesium in Rabbits Exposed to Prolonged Cadmium Intoxication

Figure 2

Effect of Cd exposure and Mg supplementation on Cu/Zn ratio (a), Mg/Zn ratio (b), and Mg/Cu ratio (c) in blood, liver, and kidney of rabbits. Control group: nontreated animals. Cd group intoxicated orally for 4 weeks with 10 mg Cd/kg b.w./day. Cd + Mg group given 40 mg Mg/kg b.w. 1 h after Cd treatment. Marked values differ significantly (ANOVA + LSD test) from *control and Cd group ( 𝑃 < 0 . 0 5 ).
