Abstract
This research was designed to investigate the effects of cadmium on blood cell injury in cadmium-poisoned mice. Twenty mice were randomly divided into two groups: control group and model group. The control group was intraperitoneally injected with normal saline every day and the model group was intraperitoneally injected with 1.4mg/kg cadmium solution every day. The experimental period was 28days. The blood of the mice was collected for detection and hematological analysis. The results demonstrated that cadmium increased the number of white blood cells and the number of neutrophils in mice. Cadmium reduced the number of eosinophils, the number of basophils, the number of monocytes, the amount of lymphocytes, the number of red blood cells, the hemoglobin concentration, mean corpusular volume, mean corpusular hemoglobin, mean corpusular hemoglobin concentration, and the number of platelets in mice. In summary, cadmium caused some damage to white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets in mice, but the direction of damage to different cells was inconsistent. The possible reason for this result is that cadmium damages the generation of blood cells, and the body takes corresponding defense measures.
