Abstract:
Effect of a single subcutaneous injection of cadmium chloride at the dose of 0.5 mg/toad on adrenal delta 5-3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (delta 5-3 beta-HSD) was observed after 7 days. The activity of delta 5-3 beta-HSD was measured histochemically. The experiments indicate that cadmium chloride resulted in a significant decrease in the activity of adrenal delta 5-3 beta-HSD in toad during breeding season (June-July).
