Hathcock JN, Hill CH, Matrone G. Vanadium toxicity and distribution in chicks and rats. J. Nutr. 1964; 82(1):106-110. (CA60:12576g) [Studies of the effect of dietary V revealed that 25 p.p.m. V added to a dry skim milk-glucose monohydrate diet was toxic to chicks as indicated by both depression of growth and mortality. Ammonium metavanadate and vanadyl sulfate were equally toxic. The addn. of Fe, Cu, Mo, Co, Zn, and Mn to the basal diet did not affect the toxicity of V. Sc, Ti, and Nb were not toxic when fed at 200 p.p.m. nor did they influence the toxicity of V. Radioisotope studies revealed that Sc and Nb were poorly absorbed or poorly retained compared with V. EDTA completely prevented the toxicity of V apparently by preventing its absorption from the intestinal tract. Ingested 48V was found to be mainly concd. in the bone and kidney of young chicks and in the kidney of adult rats.]
