ABSTRACT
X-ray microanalysis was performed to detect quantitatively, the variation of the nuclear zinc in the liver cells of rats. The nuclear zinc concentration showed statistical decrease and increase in response to cadmium and zinc treatments, respectively. The results suggest that the liver responds differently to cadmium and zinc treatments. The difference in response to either treatment may reflect different mechanisms of zinc transport and metabolism in the liver. The difference in binding affinity of metallothionein (MT) may suggest the involvement of Mt in the metabolism and transport of zinc, an effect, which may be modified by treatment.
