Clearance In Monkeys Research Articles

Mercury speciation in blood and brain tissue from monkeys. Interlaboratory comparison of Magos' method with other spectroscopic methods, using alkylation and gas chromatography separation as well as RNAA in combination with West��'s extraction methods

In a long term ongoing project on brain mercury biotransformation and clearance in monkeys, Magos' method is used for speciation of mercury. This old method has been compared with a number of new methods used for the same purpose. Results are presented from two interlaboratory control studies for total, inorganic and organic mercury in blood and brain tissues from monkeys.
