摘要: Captive, juvenile, ranch-bred, male mink (Neovison vison) were fed diets containing various concentrations of methyl-mercury (MeHg) and selenium (Se) for a period 13 weeks then sacrificed to determine total Hg levels in fur, blood, brain, liver kidneys Se brain tissue. As MeHg the diet increased, tissues also increased with highest level occurring fur > = kidney blood. Concentrations correlated (r(2) 0.97) liver, kidney, blood concentrations. The addition did not appear affect most tissue nor it partitioning between liver:blood, kidney:blood brain:blood; however, was apparently affected.
