✦ Synopsis
The influena of wheat bran as a source of dietary fibre on the excretion of ingested cadmium from diet was studied. The cadmium contents in the diets, faeces. urine, h a , kidney and spleen wae determined, as well as the weight gains, the relative weights of the cited organs, and the levels ofalkaline phosphatasc in serum.
No evidence is provided that an increasing portion of wheat bran in the diets induced an increase in cadmium excretion. Changes in the studied toxicity parameters were not found.
