Clearance of parenterally administered 203Hg from the mouse tissues.
Peak 203Hg levels in the liver, kidney, spleen, lungs and the heart of mouse following a single intraperitoneal administration, fell exponentially. Half-clearance time of 203Hg is the longest in the kidney (50 hr) followed by the liver (38 hr), spleen (25 hr) and the heart and lungs (16 hr).
