title: The levels of metallothionein-like proteins in animal tissues.
abstract: The level of metallothionein-like proteins was determined in different tissues of 6 animal species. The highest concentrations were found in pig and rat tissues. The organs richest in metallothionein-like proteins included: kidneys (101-305 microgram/g), intestine (127-257 microgram/g) and liver (54-496 microgram/g).
