Time courses for net uptake of 20 μM Hg2+-thiol conjugates in BLM vesicles from control and NPX rat kidney(s). Net uptake of 20 μM of either Hg-(GSH)2, Hg-(Cys)2, or Hg-(NAcCys)2 in BLM vesicles was determined by incubating with medium containing 203Hg2+, in the presence and absence of Na+ ions. Binding was subtracted from total intravesicular contents to give net uptake. Results are expressed as nmol Hg2+/mg protein and are means ± SE of measurements from separate membrane vesicle preparations from three control and three NPX rats. *Significantly different (p < 0.05) from corresponding BLM vesicles from control rat kidneys.
