摘要:Resistance to the toxicity of cadmium (Cd) was examined in male Wistar-Imamichi (Wistar-IM) and Fischer 344 (Fischer) rats. The Wistar-IM strain was confirmed to exhibit strong resistance compared to the Fischer strain. The resistance in first filial (F1) males was intermediate between that in Wistar-IM and that in Fischer males. The data from reciprocal crosses indicate that the strong resistance to Cd toxicity in male Wistar-IM rats is autosomal and inherited as an incompletely dominant phenotype.
