Figure 3

As accumulation in liver and kidney. Mice were orally given NHJD (600 mg/kg), realgar (600 mg/kg), arsenic disulfide (600 mg/kg), sodium arsenite (36 mg/kg), or sodium arsenate (88 mg/kg). Tissues were collected 8 h later for analysis by atomic fluorescence spectrometry (AFS). Data are mean ± SE of 6 mice and expressed as ng As/g wet tissue. *Significantly different from controls 𝑃 < 0 . 0 5 .
