Three sets of experiments were carried out to determine if there is an intestinal secretory component in the fecal excretion of administered inorganic mercury. In the first set of experiments the disposition of a nontoxic 0.5-micromol/kg intravenous dose of inorganic mercury was evaluated in control rats and rats whose bile duct had been ligated. Data collected 24 h after the administration of ...

Influences of biliary ligation and systemic depletion of glutathione (GSH) or modulation of GSH status on the disposition of a low, non-nephrotoxic i.v. dose of inorganic mercury were evaluated in rats in the present study. Renal and hepatic disposition, and the urinary and fecal excretion, of inorganic mercury were assessed 24 h after the injection of a 0.5-micromol/kg dose of mercuric chlorid...

a series of specific toxicological effects including bioaccumulation of the pollutant, histological changes and influences on liver tissue were examined in the roach fish (rutilus rutilus) after the exposure to graded sublethal concentrations (10 , 30 , 50 μg hg/l) of mercury chloride (mc). histopathological changes, such as oedema, vacuolization, pyknotic nucleus, telangiectasis, and degenerat...

This study was designed to investigate the effect of inorganic mercury (mercuric chloride) on biochemical, hematological parameters, and examining the histological changes in liver, and kidney tissues in male albino mice as a laboratory animal Model. The animals used for the sub-chronic study for mercuric chloride received 1/100 , 1/50, 1/20 and 1/10 of the calculated LD50 which were equivalent...

AIM To evaluate the effect of different mouth rinses 12 h after rinsing on genuine intra-oral halitosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-four adults with halitosis were included in a double-blind, crossover, randomized clinical trial. Halitosis was evaluated 12 h after rinsing with placebo and five mouth rinse products containing zinc acetate and chlorhexidine diacetate; zinc lactate, chlorhexid...

A simple procedure using an identical manifold was developed for determination of nitrogen (protein) phosphorus, calcium, chloride, copper, manganese, iron, and zinc in feeds and feedstuffs. By changing appropriate reagents and detection wavelength, these 8 elements were determined successively with a simple identical double-line flow injection (FI) manifold. Fl spectrophotometric determination...

Degenerative histopathalogical alterations were seen in liver due to chronic exposure of the fish, Labeo rohita to chlorides of chromium, nickel and zinc for 30 days. However, more severe degenerative changes were observed in case of zinc chloride exposed fish than nickel chloride and chromium chloride treated fishes, indicating more toxic nature of zinc chloride. There were enlarged nuclei, co...
