Abstract

Male rats on a diet and environment controlled as to trace metals were given 5 ppm. cadmium, chromium and lead in drinking water for 10 to 12 months. Lead and cadmium appeared to lower serum cholesterol levels significantly; chromium was without demonstrable effect. Hepatic levels were apparently unchanged.
