Mutagenicity study on mice given mercuric chloride.
The mutagenic activity of different concentrations of mercuric chloride (0, 2, 4 and 6 mg HgCl2 per kg body wt) has been analysed in Swiss Albino mice at several periods (12, 24, 36 and 48 h) after intraperitoneal injection. No increased frequency of chromosomal aberrations was observed in bone marrow cells or in spermatogonia.
