## Abstract Eggs were recovered from 153 adult female mice fed either a normal (27% protein) or a proteinβdeficient (8% protein) diet from day 15 (Group I) or 30 (Group 11) before mating until sacrifice. The females were mated with fertile males and sacrificed 48, 72, 96 or 120 hours after observat
The whole-body retention of mercury after exposure of BALB/c mice to methylmercury was measured in animals fed fibre-free, 5% pectin, 5% cellulose or 5, 15 or 30% wheat bran diets. The rate of elimination of mercury was dependent on the diet fed, with dietary bran increasing the rate of elimination.
