The aim of the study was to observe the effect of ionizing radiation and cadmium chloride on glucose metabolism in broiler chickens. The experiment was conducted on 28-day-old chickens divided into four groups (A, B, C and D). The first group (A) served as control, groups 2 (B) and 3 (C) were irradiated with a single, whole body dose of gamma rays (3 Gy, input 1.14 Gy/min) and group 3 (C) was administered a water solution of CdCl2 intraperitoneally at a dose of 6 mg/kg body weight. Group 4 (D) was administered a water solution of CdCl2 intraperitoneally at the same dose as group 3 but chickens of this group were not irradiated with gamma rays. The serum glucose concentration in B and C chickens was decreased significantly on days 7, 14 and 21 of the experiment. The serum glucose concentration in D chickens was decreased significantly on day 7. The results of our experiment indicate that a combined influence of ionizing radiation and cadmium chloride resulted in a significant decrease in serum glucose concentration. The influence was more evident than that caused either by cadmium chloride or irradiation alone. The changes in serum glucose concentration observed on days 7 and 14 in gamma-irradiated chickens were lower than those induced by cadmium chloride.
