Abstract:
Selenium, which is regarded as nature's antidote to heavy metal toxicities, was administered to mice. Salt solutions of cadmium chloride and sodium selenite were gavaged singly and successively, with or without a time gap of 1 h. Degrees of protection offered by this element against cadmium-induced toxic effects with special reference to chromosomal aberrations were assessed.
