Mercuric mercury (Hg2+), when injected IV into the pregnant Wistar rat, is retained mainly in the maternal compartment and uptake by the conceptuses is small. Thus if the dose is based on total body weight, the maternal body burden, particularly in late gestation, is greater than the whole body burd

## Abstract The biological activity of heavy metals is related to their physicochemical interaction with biological receptors. In the present study, the effect of low concentrations of nickel nitrate and lead nitrate (<0.3 mM) on rat liver soluble chromatin and histone proteins was examined. The re
The role of extracellular glutathione (GSH) and membrane-bound y-glutamyltranspeptidase (yGT) as contributory factors in the disposition and toxicity of inorganic mercury (HgCI2, 1 mg kg-', i.p.) was investigated in rats pretreated with acivicin (AT-125, 10 mg kg-I), a y-GT inhibitor. A high degree
Species difference in the susceptibility to l-methyl-4-phenyl-l,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) was investigated in cultured rat and mouse astrocytes, where 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+), the toxic mediator of MPTP, is formed. Type A monoamine oxidase (MAO) predominated in both rat and mouse as
