摘要:It was aimed to know what difference would occur in the amount of mercury in the brain of rabbit after administration of sublimate solution by different routes. Irrespective of dose level and time after injection, the subcutaneous injection made a higher concentration of mercury in the brain than the intravenous injection did. In the intravenous injection, the amount of mercury retained in the liver was markedly higher than in the subcutaneous injection. On the contrary, the kidney had a higher concentration of mercury in the subcutaneous injection. Possible mechanisms to produce such difference on the mercury concentrations in the brain were discussed.
