Abstract
Cadmium is often present together with zinc in metal-polluted aquatic environments. Zinc has an antagonistic and protective action in the uptake and toxic effects of cadmium, probably because of Zn-induced synthesis of metallothionein that detoxifies Cd by firmly binding this metal (Hemelraad et al. 1987). Similar effects have been observed in the interaction of heavy metals such as selenium and mercury(Lucu and Skreblin 1981).
