Evaluation of the effect of spirulina on cadmium absorbtion in C57mice

Cadmium is one of the most important heavy metals in the soil that is environmentally important in humans and causes numerous health effects for humans. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of cyanobacteria  Spirulina platensis (arthrospira platensis) on reduction of cadmium accumulation in liver and kidney of C57 mice.In this study, 16 C57 mice were randomly divided into 4 control and treatment groups. The control group was treated with physiological saline and the groups were treated with 1000 µg / ml cadmium chloride , 1% spirulina in diet and mixture cadmium and spirulina . On day 24, mices were killed after anesthesia with ether and cadmium levels in the feces, liver and kidney were measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry.Cyanobacteria Spirulina platensis increased concentration of x percent cadmium excretion in the feces and reduce the heavy metal accumulation in mouse kidney C57 Y percent respectively.According to the findings of this study, it can be concluded that the use of this bacterium has a significant effect on decreasing digestive uptake of cadmium.
