The protective role of metallothionein (MT) in Cd-mediated hepatotoxicity was investigated in vivo and in vitro. Following injection of Cd (2 mg/kg, intraperitoneal or subcutaneous) hepatoxicity was significantly greater at 20 h in metallothionein-null (MT -/-) mice, compared with controls (MT+/+).
