ABSTRACT
It was shown that the activity of alpha-amylase in the pancreas tissue, intestine content and blood, as well as kinetic characteristics in different substratum concentration changed in males and females after unitary oral administration of chloride cadmium in the dose 5 mg/kg. It was revealed that, after a single administration of chloride cadmium, growth of the pancreas weight, contents of protein and activity of alpha-amylase in the pancreatic tissue increased with parallel reduction of activity of enzyme in the small intestine. In acute cadmium intoxication, functional reorganizations in the pancreas are identical to initial stages of carcinogenic shifts. Such shifts are more expressed in females in comparison with males, especially after the cadmium intoxication.

Is was shown the consumption of heavy metal's salts with food by lactating rats, essential influences on formation of mechanisms of cavity and membrane digestive in offspring. This influence is shown in repression of activity of pancreatic alpha-amylase and enteral saccrase, maltase as well as in induction of lactase activity in growing rats.
