Selective uptake of cadmium by the parenchyumal cells of liver
The Biochemical Journal
|April 15, 1980
Abstract:
The uptake of cadmium in vivo into parenchymal and non-parenchymal (sinusoidal) cells of the liver was studied by a cell-separation technique. Liver parenchymal cells accumulate cadmium more readily than do non-parenchymal cells and synthesize metallothionein. It is proposed that cadmium uptake and metabolism from injected CdCl2, is restricted almost exclusively to the liver parenchymal cells.
