[Studies on arsenic metabolism (XX). Arsenic accumulation in the organs and excretion into the feces and urine of rats chronically poisoned with arsenic (author's transl)].
Male and female rats (60 approximately 80 g) of Wistar strain were randomly divided into two groups and were given milk and cereal diets, respectively. Each group was further divided into two groups; one was given the diet containing 100ppm of arsenic trioxide and the other a diet containing "arsenic compound" (100ppm as arsenic trioxide). Each group included five rats of both sexes. A 6-month feeding of the test diet was followed by provision of a normal diet. The accumulated arsenic was excreted almost 100% from the brain and 20 approximately 30% from organs such as kidney, liver, spleen and lung. The arsenic level persisted in tissues in animals on the cereal diet, as compared with those fed the milk diet. There was no significant difference in the accumulation and excretion of arsenic between the groups given arsenic trioxide or "arsenic compound".
