Content of Hg in feces of control and TR− rats. (A) Rats were injected (i.v.) with either HgCl2 (0.5 μmol/kg) or Cys-S-Hg-S-Cys (0.5 μmol/kg HgCl2 + 1.25 μmol/kg Cys). (B) Rats were injected (i.v.) with either CH3HgCl (5 μmol/kg) or Cys-S-CH3Hg (5 μmol/kg CH3HgCl + 12.5 μmol/kg Cys). Rats were sacrificed 24 h following injection with Hg. Data represent the total amount of Hg excreted in feces throughout the 24-h experiment. Data represent mean ± SE of four rats. * Significantly different (p < 0.05) from the corresponding mean for rats of the same strain exposed to HgCl2 or CH3HgCl. + Significantly different (p < 0.05) from the corresponding mean for control rats.
