摘要:Most of mercuric oxide (HgO) administered p.o. to rats (5 mgHg/kg) was excreted in feces, and about 2 % of the dose was excreted in urine. The distribution of mercury in rat tissues after the oral administration of HgO was similar to that after the oral administration of the same molar dose of mercuric chloride. Mercury concentrations in the blood after the administration of HgO into the stomach or small intestine of the pyrolus-ligated rats were similar to those after the administration of the same molar dose of mercuric chloride. Taking into account the low degree of dissociation, these results suggested that HgO was able to be absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract without transformation to mercuric chloride.
