Abstract: 【Objective】 The objective of this study was to look for a sensitive monitoring index of liver injury induced by cadmium and provide a scientific basis for cadmium monitoring and prevention by studying the influences of subchronic cadmium exposure on liver biochemical indexes.【Method】Twenty healthy 3-month-old Wuzhishan Pig (WZSP )were divided randomly into 5 groups, and then fed with basal diet containing 0.0 mg•kg-1 (groupⅠ), 0.5 mg•kg-1 (group Ⅱ), 2.0 mg•kg-1 (group Ⅲ), 8.0 mg•kg-1 (group Ⅳ), 32.0 mg•kg-1 (group Ⅴ) doses of cadmium respectively over one hundred days. Blood were collected every 20 days to determine the activities of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and γ-glutamyltransferase (γ-GGT). Blood cadmium and liver cadmium were determined at the end of experiment. 【Result】 Compared with group Ⅰ, ALT activity in groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ increased significantly after exposing to cadmium for 80 days (P<0.05), followed by 60 days for group Ⅳ and 20 days for group Ⅴ but not within 40 days. AST activities in groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ increased significantly after exposing to cadmium for 20 days (P<0.05) but not within 40 days (P>0.05), while groups Ⅳ and Ⅴ increased significantly within 100 days (P<0.05). GGT activities in groups Ⅱ, Ⅳ, and Ⅴ all increased significantly after exposing to cadmium for 100 days (P<0.05). Liver cadmium and blood cadmium in groups Ⅳ and Ⅴ increased significantly compared to group Ⅰ(P<0.05). There was a significant correlation  among cadmium exposure, blood cadmium and liver cadmium at the 0.01 level, ALT activity was significantly correlated with cadmium exposure and liver cadmium at the 0.05 level. 【Conclusion】 Liver injury can be induced by subchronic cadmium exposure at concentrations higher than 0.5 mg•kg-1. Serum ALT activity and blood cadmium can be used respectively as a liver effective biomarker and exposure biomarker of liver injury induced by subchronic cadmium exposure.
