Concentration of cadmium (Cd; average ± SE) in serum and testes
| Week | n | Serum (ng/mL) | Testes (ng/g wet tissue) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control | 6 | 2.8 ± 0.6 | 3.7 ± 0.6 |
| 1 | 3 | 8.1 ± 1.2 | 378.2 ± 87.3 |
| 2 | 3 | 7.2 ± 0.2 | 717.0 ± 143.3 |
| 3 | 3 | 19.5 ± 0.5 | 3910.0 ± 1720.0 |
| 4 | 3 | 17.5 ± 3.5 | 2025.0 ± 1085.0 |
| 5 | 3 | 16.5 ± 6.4 | 1815.0 ± 485.0 |
| 6 | 3 | 31.5 ± 10.5 | 4520.0 ± 2310.0 |
Cadmium accumulation in the testes was prominent because the testicular concentration of Cd was almost 100‐fold more than that in serum.
