The absorption and excretion of cadmium (Cd) in female rats fed with contaminated cooked brown rice (cBR) and cooked white rice (cWR) were evaluated in vivo for 24 h. Results showed that even when essential metals were abundant, the Cd absorption rate in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract of rats administered with cBR and cWR could reach >10% and >15% on average, respectively. When the body is under normal ionic state, Cd absorption was not disrupted by the amount of simultaneously ingested essential metal elements. The absorption segment of Cd wa...
