203HgCl2 was given to mice, and its retention, excretion and distribution were investigated, Furthermore various drugs were examined for 203 Hg-expelling effect.
1. Retention : The retention after the s.c., i.p. and p.o. administration were daily explored for 3 days. The retention after s.c. administration was highest, and next in order were i.p. and p.o. administration.
2. Distribution : The distribution of 203 HgCl2 was determined times daily for 3 days after i.p. administration. The radioactivity was highest in the kidney already at 1 hour, and attained the peak at 4 hours.
The subcellular distribution of 203 HgCl2 in the liver and kidney at 24 hours after i.p. administration was greater in the supernatant fraction from both organs than in the other fractions.
3. Effects of administration of various drugs : 3-day experiments on the whole body : The retention of 203 HgCl2 after its i.p. administration was decreased by BAL and D-Penicillamine. 203 Hg Activity was lowered in the kidney, liver, pancreas, spleen, brain and blood by BAL, in the kidney, pancreas and spleen by D-Penicillamine, in the brain by L-CySH·Gly, in the brain and blood by L-CySH, in the kidney by 2-Mercatopropiony glycine and also by Pyridonine-4SH, in the spleen, brain and blood by Mercaptoacetic acid (though it increased 203 Hg concentration in the kidney), and in the kidney be EDTA and DTPA (though increased in the pancreas and brain).
4. Effect of starvation : The fecal excretion of 203 HgCl2was decrease and its retention was increased by the starvation. The absorption of 203 HgCl2 was increased by the starvation.
