Abstract
The active transduodenal transfer of calcium has been studied in five-week old female rats pretreated orally with various doses of cadmium chloride. The transfer was determined on 8th or 15th day by the »everted gut sac« method with calcium-45 as a tracer. Within the range of cadmium doses used, calcium-45 transfer did not change to any significant degree, while its retention in the duodenal wall increased when 0.2 mg of cadmium was given to rats for one week, or when they received 15 mg cadmium divided in two doses.
