| pubmed-article:2885146 | pubmed:abstractText | Gibels were exposed to cadmium in their aquarium at a concentration of 10 micrograms Cd/l for up to 39 weeks. Distributions of cadmium, copper and zinc in the liver soluble fraction were determined along with sulfur by high performance liquid chromatography-inductively coupled argon plasma-atomic emission spectrometry. Cadmium was sequestered by the two major isoforms of gibel metallothionein as in the case of cadmium injected intraperitoneally into gibel. Several peaks with cadmium, copper, zinc and sulfur were observed other than the two major isoforms and their relative ratios were different between the control and cadmium-exposed fishes. | lld:pubmed |
