Participation of mercuric conjugates of cysteine, homocysteine, and N-acetylcysteine in mechanisms involved in the renal tubular uptake of inorganic mercury

Mechanisms involved in the renal uptake of inorganic mercury were studied in rats administered a nontoxic 0.5 mumol/kg intravenous dose of inorganic mercury with or without 2.0 mumol/kg cysteine, homocysteine, or N-acetylcysteine. The renal disposition of mercury was studied 1 h after treatment in n...
