Effect of Chlordecone (Cd) and malnutrition on total body and spleen weights, and plaque forming cells (PFC) were studied. Rats were fed on normal, calcium (Ca-D), protein (P-D) or Ca+P-deficient diets containing 0, 10 or 100 ppm of Cd for 2 or 4 weeks. High (95-100%) mortality was observed in malnourished rats treated with 100 ppm of Cd for 4 weeks. A slight decrease in body weight and an increase in spleen weight was observed in normal but not malnourished rats treated with 10 ppm of Cd for 4 weeks. PFC were significantly increased in both malnourished and Cd-treated rats. Similar increase in PFC was observed in rats fed on Ca-D but not P-D diet containing 10 or 100 ppm of Cd. Whereas, rats fed on Ca+P-D diet containing 100 ppm of Cd exhibited a significant decrease in PFC.
