YAMAMOTO, R. and SUZUKI, T. Decreased Membrane Fragility of Mouse Erythrocytes by Small Dose of Methylmercury and Its Restoration by Coadministered Selenite. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1982, 137 (3), 297-303-Female IVCS mice were fed methylmercury at a low dose level (10nmoles/g feed) with coadministration of selenite (0, 8, 20 or 50nmoles/ml of drinking water) for one week or two weeks. Mice fed methylmercury alone showed the decreased fragility of erythrocytes membrane when compared with the non-treated control. Coadministration of selenite produced such a change to smaller extents than methylmercury treatment alone. Mercury levels in the blood varied according to the dose level of selenite (the highest level was found in methylmercury alone group).
