Abstract
Cats fed (CH3Hg)2SO4 developed the same findings as spontaneously affected cats fed the poisonous seafood from Minamata Bay. The organomercury compound in raw organs such as the liver, the kidney, and the bone marrow of the above animals did not transfer to chloroform, but it transferred easily to BAL. The methylmercury compound in organs of cats fed (CH3Hg)2SO4 and rats fed CH3HgI accumulated as the same methylmercury compound. The excretion of mercury in feces of cats fed (CH3Hg)2SO4 was considerably lessoned as compared with that of fed CH3HgCl and (CH3Hg)2S.
