Biliary excretion of mercury and cadmium.
The own kinetic data on the biliary excretion of different mercury species and cadmium are presented. The role of enterohepatic circulation, mechanisms of biliary excretion and mobilization of Cd2+ and Hg2+ with selected chelating agents are discussed. The experimental results are confronted with scarce human data available from own laboratory and literature.
