There have been reports on the effect of Ca on the uptake of Cd. A low dietary uptake of Ca can result in an increasing accumulation of Cd in the kidney and can increase the susceptibility to the deleterious effects of environmental Cd. However, up to now, there have been no reports on what role Ca plays in the uptake of Cd after supplementary Ca is added to the diet. One of the purposes of this work was to compare the amount of Cd in the livers of rats which were fed by rations containing various amounts of supplementary Ca (Ca-Cd test in brief). In addition, we determined the intestinal absorption of Ca, using drinking water containing 100 ppm Cd to feed the rats for seventeen days (Cd treatment in brief) and then in vitro determined the absorption capability of Cd in the duodenum.
