The effects of cadmium-metallothionein (Cd-MT) on organic ion uptake in renal cortical slices and lipid peroxidation in the kidney were studied in rats. For in vitro studies, slices were prepared from kidneys of control animals and incubated in buffer containing either cadmium chloride (CdCl2) or Cd
Metallothionein (MT), induced in different organs in response to heavy metals and oxidative conditions, exerts antioxidant properties and thus could be implicated in cardiovascular physiopathology. The aim of this study was to investigate the capacity of cadmium (Cd) and isoproterenol to induce in v
