Abstract
203Hg-Mercuric chloride was administered intragastrically to female rats. The absorption rate evaluated for a broad range of doses was found constant for low and medium range, and higher for high doses. Mercury was determined in internal organs and intestines. The time-course of intestinal mercury indicated that a deposit formed initially in the mucosa was further absorbed into the circulation. No indication was found of a protection mechanism based on exfoliation of the mucosal deposits of metal.Keywords
