It has been investigated, based on a rat model of human exposure to cadmium (Cd),
whether zinc (Zn) supplementation may prevent Cd-induced alterations in lipid metabolism.
For this purpose, the concentrations of free fatty acids (FFA), phospholipids (PL),
triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TCh), and high and low density lipoprotein cholesterol
(HDL and LDL, respectively) as well as the concentrations of chosen indices of lipid
peroxidation such as lipid peroxides (LPO), F2-isoprostane (F2-IsoP) and oxidized LDL …
