Abstract

Despite the numerous studies conducted on the testicular Cadmium (Cd) binding protein (Cd-BP) or metallothionein (MT), there is still no consensus on whether the testicular Cd-BP is the same as MT. Moreover, it is unclear whether the testicular Cd-BP is inducible. Therefore, the possible induction of MT-like Cd-BP was investigated in rat testis after oral Cd administration and Cd injection.
