The effect of dietary cadmium on prostate growth.
We investigated the effect of chronic non-toxic ingestion of cadmium chloride on the growth of the prostate, seminal vesicles and testes of the white rat. Cadmium chloride seems to have a statistically significant dose-related adjuvant effect on the weight of these organs when administered continuously to the white rat during a 6-month period.
