Abstract
These experiments were carried out to ascertain the effects of the accumulation of AS2O3 in urine, feces, brain, liver, kidney, lung and spleen of rats that had been fed cereal food containing 650 ppm of AS2O3 to which had also been added 1%o methionine, taurine and cysteine. The quantity of As2O3 in urine and feces of rats in the methionine, taurine and cysteine groups was statistically no less than that of As control group. The quantity of As2O3 in brain, liver, kidney, lung and spleen of rats in the methionine, taurine, cysteine groups was also statistically no less than that of the As control group.
