title: Neurobehavioural effects in rats fed low doses of cadmium and lead to induce hypertension.
abstract: Rats given diets supplemented with low doses of cadmium or lead or both elements together showed an increase in cadmium levels within the brain in all supplemented groups. Hypo-activity was noted after 16 months of dietary supplementation with lead or with cadmium and lead. Activity was unaffected by feeding with cadmium alone.
