Cadmium-induced prostate metallothionein in the rabbit.
Male rabbits injected with cadmium chloride (4 mg/kg) lead to the detection of a major metal-containing peak in the prostate cytosol. Chromatographic profiles indicate the presence of metallothionein (MT). MT is associated with zinc ion. The rabbit prostate, like that of other species, contains zinc-associated proteins, and this protein possesses many of the characteristics of metallothionein.
