Mercury Disposition in Suckling Rats: Comparative Assessment Following Parenteral Exposure to Thiomersal and Mercuric Chloride
Table 2
Descriptive characteristics and Pearson’s correlation coefficient between two experimental groups of suckling rats exposed to HgCl2 (mercuric chloride) or thiomersal (ethylmercury). Total mercury was measured in whole blood, urine, and tissues (liver, kidneys, small intestine, large intestine, and brain). Values are presented as μg/L in whole blood and urine, and as μg/g w.w. in the liver, kidneys, small intestine, large intestine, and brain.
