Fig. 1. Water consumption, body weight, and food consumption during cadmium exposure. Male Sprague Dawley rats were exposed to 32 ppm CdCl2 in drinking water for 10 weeks. Weekly body weights were recorded along with weekly consumption of food and drinking water. Food and water consumption was normalized to the body weight, and data are reported as mean ± SE. Data were analyzed by 2-way ANOVA followed by Holms–Sidaks multiple comparison test. * indicates P < 0.05 between in vivo control and cadmium exposed groups.
