Abstract
The effects of daily administration of cadmium and lindane for 35 days on the metabolism of lindane in rats were investigated. The results indicate that cadmium induces a significant inhibition of lindane metabolism, since the group dosed with lindane plus cadmium had a significantly higher concentration of lindane in plasma and tissues than the group dosed with lindane alone. The inhibition in the metabolic rate of lindane is associated with the cadmium-induced alterations in the disposition of essential trace elements, Zn, Cu and Fe, in the liver.
