Biochemical studies of phenylmercuric acetate (PMA) and
mercuric acetate toxicity in rats carried out during this investigation
were (1) the metabolism of ²⁰³Hg(Ac)₂ and ²⁰³Hg-PMA within kidney and liver tissues following oral
ingestion,
(2) the effect on some
soluble enzyme activities and determinations of ²⁰³Hg binding in the
enzyme fractions,...
