Role of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase and beta-lyase in the nephrotoxicity of hexachloro-1,3-butadiene and methyl mercury in mice.

abstract：:The effects of cadmium (Cd) on the immune organs were examined histopathologically. On 2 or 3 days after a single i.p. injection of 1.8 mg Cd/kg body weight into mice, slight loss of body weight, significant decrease of thymus weight and marked increase of spleen weight were observed. Lymph node weight did not show an...
