Cadmium is known to induce oxidative stress, neuronal apoptosis and damage to the neural pathways. We studied its toxic effects in the Substantia nigra. Two groups of Wistar rats were used; the control group received regular water, and the other group consumed drinking water with 15ppm of Cd for 60 days. Cryostat midbrain sections (15 \u00b5m thick) were stained with Nissl and Hoescht 33342 using standard histological procedures. The histological examination of the brain sections showed changes in the normal structure in the Cd-intoxicated rats. We observed an increase in apoptotic cells with irregular shapes and darkly stained and condensed nuclei.
