Abstract :

Cadmium, an environmental pollutant, is reported to have toxic effects on nearly all systems of human body though it�s toxic effects nervous system are less well documented. It�s pathophysiological actions are related to body stores of Ca++, Zn++ and Na++. This investigation was conducted to explore the toxic effects of Cd++ on the olfactory bulb of albino rats fed with the Zn++ deficient diet, to have an idea about it�s corresponding toxic effects on humanbeings. 16 charles foster strain rats were taken. 8 rats (control group) and the remaining 8 rats (experimental group) were kept for 30 days on the stock ration and the Zn++ deficient diets, respectively. Experimental group rats were given Cd++ injections. Than 10� thick sections of the olfactory bulb were stained with H&E, Thionine and Gleese silver stains. On microscopic observation, various layers of the olfactory bulb (of experimental group rats) showed degenerative changes
