[Blood pressure and pulse frequency during oral intake of cadmium sulfide in animal experiment (author's transl)].

Female wistar rats were given cadmium sulfide in various concentrations in their chow (26 mg CdS/kg feed and 52 mg tcdS/kg feed). After a three month trial no significant changes in blood pressure could be seen. The pulse frequencies showed the falling tendency with increasing weight, as already seen in healthy rats.
