PMID: 24285445 Abstract Title: Tannic Acid influence on lead and cadmium accumulation in the hearts and lungs of rats. Abstract: BACKGROUND: The presence of heavy metals in food products has become a global problem. In order to reduce the absorption of heavy metals from food we should consider substances which bind these toxic metals and are generally available and easy to apply, such as tannins.OBJECTIVES: The study aimed at verifying if oral administration of tannic acid could reduce the accumulation of lead and cadmium in the heart and lungs of rats subjected to a continuous exposure of toxic metals in low doses.MATERIAL AND METHODS: Adolescent and adult male Wistar rats were given tannic acid (2% solution) or distilled water containing 0, 50, 100 mg Pb (as (CH₃COO)₂Pb)/L or 0, 7, 14 mg Cd (as CdCl₂)/L, for 6 or 12 weeks.RESULTS: Administering a 2% solution of tannic acid alternately with Pb or Cd to the rats was the effective method of reducing lead and cadmium content in the rats' heart and lungs.CONCLUSIONS: The obtained results may be referred to people.
