AN EARLY DIFFERENTIAL EFFECT OF CADMIUM ON THE SCROTAL AND CONTRALATERAL CRYPTORCHID TESTES IN THE RAT

Summary.: Cadmium chloride at a dose level of 0·5 mg/100 g body weight exerted a differential deleterious effect on cryptorchid and contralateral scrotal testes in the same rat. The degenerative changes occurring in the cryptorchid testis 72 hr after cadmium administration were almost comparable to those found after ligation of the spermatic artery for 72 hr and were highly significant compared to those found in the scrotal counterpart.
