Tisbe holothuriae

Chromium-zinc mixtures were more-than-additive in toxicity to Tisbe holothuriae, a marine copepod. Zinc in combination with chromium was more toxic to copepods than were mixtures of zinc with copper, lead, nickel, or cadmium (Verriopoulos and Dimas 1988).

Chromium-zinc mixtures were more-than-additive in toxicity to Tisbe holothuriae, a marine copepod. Zinc in combination with chromium was more toxic to copepods than were mixtures of zinc with copper, lead, nickel, or cadmium. Renal tubular absorption of zinc in mice was impaired by certain diuretics and was further influenced by dietary proteins. Zinc absorption in rats was depressed after consumption of high levels of inorganic iron absorption was normal with organoirons. Mercury-zinc mixtures were more-than-additive in toxicity to...
