Cadmium and calcium interactions: experimental data.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of calcium supplementation during suckling period on toxic metal retention. In suckling rats supplemented with calcium (1%, 3% and 6% in cow's milk) and concomitantly exposed to cadmium per os, concentrations of cadmium were significantly decreased in organs and carcass. The effect was dose-related. No calcium-effect on tissue cadmium was found in pups exposed to cadmium prior to calcium supplementation. Calcium supplementation per se significantly increased calcium concentration in the carcass. It was concluded that calcium supplementation during the suckling period could be an efficient way of reducing oral cadmium absorption and retention without affecting essential trace elements.
