Mercury (Hg) levels in the bone tissue of NC, DC, and treated (MTX and DAR) animals. The amount of Hg present in the DAR stand-alone tablet was detected at 38.02 ppm/mg sample. Values in the results are mean ± SD. A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Dunnett test was used to calculate the statistical difference between NC versus DC, and MTX or DAR treatment versus DC. p-value ψ > 0.05 (non-significant).
