Excerpt
Introduction: In 1962, Schroeder et al. first reported that chronic cadmium feeding could induce hypertension in rats; their report indicated that the induced hypertension was marked (I). They extended these observations in 1964 (2). In 1967, however, this group of investigators revised the magnitude of the induced hypertension sharply downward by considering the average change in pressure for the entire exposed rat population rather than just for those animals which developed hypertension, i.e., the responders (3). Throughout, these investigators used standard conditions, including a standard dose of 5 ppm cadmium in drinking water (I).
