[Mechanisms of detoxication of cadmium by the oyster Crassostrea gigas (Mollusca, Bivalve. II. Intracellular sites of accumulation of the metal in absorbant and excretory organs].
In oysters exposed to CdCl2 or under natural conditions (Gironde), concentrations of cadmium occur in absorbant and excretory organs, without cellular injury. The lysosomal system, involved in the storage of the metal, is implicated in detoxification processes.
