The distribution of mercury and selenium has been examined in subcellular fractions of rat liver and kidneys in prolonged exposure to HgCl2 and Na2SeO3 administered separately and simultaneously. The molar ratio of mercury and selenium concentrations in subcellular fractions of the organs examined v

Thiomersal is used as a preservative in vaccines given to small children. The metabolic product of thiomersal is ethylmercury and its distribution and kinetics are still not known, especially at this early age. The purpose of this study was to compare the body distribution of two forms of mercury: o
## Abstract The toxicologically relevant mercury species inorganic and organic Hg in blood are frequently determined by separate measurements of total Hg and of inorganic Hg, with their difference indicating organic Hg. It is shown that the different partition of inorganic and organic Hg between er
Inorganic mercury, administered to rats in a single dose of 0.5 mg Hg/kg is accumulated in the kidneys mainly in the soluble (54%) and nuclear (30%) fractions, showing decreasing tendency with time. Mitochondrial and microsomal fractions, initially accumulating approx. 11 and 6% of total Hg, show a
