Acute cadmium intoxication in inbred mice: a study on strain differences. 1980

A Hata, and H Tsunoo, and H Nakajima, and K Shintaku, and M Kimura

Male C3H, BALB/c and DBA/2 mice were injected subcutaneously with a single dose of 30 mumol CdCl2/kg. Most of the C3H mice died within 15 h, while all of DBA/2 survived for at least 48 h. At 6 h after Cd-injection, histology revealed severe hemorrhage, fatty change, zonal hepatocyte necrosis and congestion of C3H livers, while these findings were rare in the other strains even at 48 h post-injection. The rate of metallothionein (MT) induction at 6 h was significantly lower in C3H mice than in the other two strains.

D013045 Species Specificity The restriction of a characteristic behavior, anatomical structure or physical system, such as immune response; metabolic response, or gene or gene variant to the members of one species. It refers to that property which differentiates one species from another but it is also used for phylogenetic levels higher or lower than the species.
