	abstract = {In adult sheep, cadmium (Cd) accumulates in both liver and kidney  tissue in an age dependent manner. To quantify the accumulation of Cd in  the developing foetus and investigate the relationship with the Cd status of  the maternal parent, liver and kidney samples were collected from both  Romney and Merino foetuses, approximately fortnightly, from 60 days after  conception up to parturition, and from the suckling lamb, weekly over three  weeks. Matching liver and kidney samples were also obtained from the dam.   Tissue sub-samples were analysed for metallothionein-mRNA by dot blot  hybridisation of total RNA extracts to assist in identifying regulatory aspects  of Cd accumulation in hepatic foetal tissue and any relationship with Zn.
