Kidney changes in multiparous mice fed a nutrient-sufficient diet containing cadmium.

Abstract：

:Female mice were given nutrient-sufficient, purified diets containing cadmium at either 0.25, 5, or 50 ppm, as described in the accompanying publication. One-half of the females were bred for 6 consecutive 42-day rounds of pregnancy/lactation (PL mice); remaining females were non-pregnant controls (NP mice). PL mice and NP controls were sacrificed after 1, 2, 4, or 6 consecutive rounds of pregnancy/lactation. At all levels of dietary cadmium and after all reproductive rounds, kidney cadmium concentrations were 2-5-fold higher in PL than NP mice. After 6 rounds of reproduction, the mean concentration of cadmium in the kidneys of PL mice exposed to dietary cadmium at 50 ppm was 115 micrograms Cd/g kidney, close to the critical concentration for cadmium-induced renal damage (200 micrograms/g). No consistent increases in the concentrations of amino acids, protein, or cadmium in urine were observed in the NP or PL mice in our study, indicating that cadmium-induced renal dysfunction had not yet appeared. Very small increases in kidney concentrations of zinc and copper were observed with large increases in kidney cadmium concentrations. Threshold cadmium concentrations below which the concentrations of zinc and copper were relatively constant and independent of cadmium concentration were identified; they were 7.2 micrograms Cd/g kidney for zinc and 13 micrograms Cd/g kidney for copper. In this study, cadmium-induced decreases in bone-mineral content occurred in the PL mice exposed to cadmium at 5 and 50 ppm (see accompanying publication). Data presented here indicate that the latter bone changes occurred in the absence of cadmium-induced renal dysfunction of the type that results in increased aminoaciduria/proteinuria. They suggest that the bone disease of Itai-Ital patients may also have started prior to the onset of this type of renal dysfunction.
