Serum alanine aminotransferase (A), aspartate aminotransferase (B), serum creatinine (C), blood urea nitrogen (D) and 24-h urine protein (E) levels are elevated in rat exposed to cadmium for 14 weeks. Rats were divided into four groups and treated with CdCl₂ at three different concentrations (high dose 1.225, mid-dose 0.612 and low does 0.306 mg/kg body weight, respectively) or with 0.9% NaCl as the control. ALT, serum alanine aminotransferase. AST, aspartate aminotransferase. BUN, blood urea nitrogen. SCR, serum creatinine. 24hPro, 24-h urine protein. All the data were shown as χ̄ ± SE. * means p < 0.05 compared to corresponding control group. ^# means p < 0.05 compared to corresponding low exposure group. ^Δ means p < 0.05 compared to corresponding high exposure group (Analysis of variance and Student-Newman -Keuls, or Kruskal-Wallis and Games-Howell test).
