Abstract:
Two groups of 4 sheep received a daily iv injection of sodium heptamolybdate (100mg/day) or of saline for 2 weeks to study the hematological and plasma biochemical effects of molybdenum toxicosis. In molybdenum-dosed sheep, there was hypercupremia, mild anemia due to the decrease of copper concentration in the liver and moderate hepatocellular damage probably due to a direct toxic effect of molybdenum against the liver.
