title: Biliary excretion of mercury and cadmium.
abstract: 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.
