Effect of cholecalciferol on cadmium uptake in the chick

Journal Article · · Nutr. Rep. Int.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5267883
The influence of vitamin D/sub 3/ (cholecalciferol) on the uptake of orally administered /sup 109/Cd into the principle cadmium sequestering organs, i.e. liver and kidney, was investigated in the vitamin D-deficient chick. Neither 2000 IU of vitamin D/sub 3/ administered orally nor dietary vitamin D/sub 3/ (600IU/kg) fed for four days significantly influenced the uptake of /sup 109/Cd. The vitamin did elevate the serum Ca concentration in the treated chicks.
