Mercury content of human tissues.

Mercury content of the human lens.

Melanin content of hamster tissues, human tissues, and various melanomas.

Melanin content (percentage by weight) was determined in both pigmented and nonpigmented tissues of Syrian golden hamsters bearing Greene melanoma. Melanin content was also measured in various other melanoma models (B-16 in C57 mice, Harding-Passey in BALB/c mice, and KHDD in C3H mice) and in nine human melanomas, as well as in selected normal tissues. The purpose was to evaluate the possible e...

The 3-methylhistidine content of human tissues.

1. The amount of 3-methylhistidine (3-MeH) has been measured in eighty-eight samples of tissue taken post-mortem from five adults. 2. The highest concentration (mumol/g fat-free dry weight) of 3-MeH was in skeletal muscle (3.31 +/- 0.05); intermediate values (2-3) were found in cardiac muscle and those tissues containing smooth muscle; and low values (less than 1) occurred in parenchymal tissue...

Mercury content in tissues of rats given diet containing dental amalgam powder.

Dental amalgam powder consisting of conventional, spherical-shaped alloy was prepared and added to the diet at the rate of 10% or 20% of the weight. An inorganic mercury compound, a solution of 10ppm or 20ppm of mercurous nitrate was also prepared for a comparative study. Five groups of rats were fed the test diet or test solution ad libitum for 8 weeks. Throughout the experiment, all rats were...
