Content of Hg2+ (percentage of administered dose) in the left kidney and total renal mass of control and TR− rats injected i.v. with 0.5 μmol/kg HgCl2. Rats were injected i.p. with 100 mg/kg DMSA or 2 ml/kg saline 24 and 28 h after injection of HgCl2. Kidneys were harvested for determination of Hg2+ content after 48-h exposure to HgCl2. *, significantly different (p < 0.05) from the corresponding mean for control rats treated in the same manner. +, significantly different (p < 0.05) from the corresponding mean for the same strain of rats treated with saline.
