Abstract
The site of cadmium and mercury retention in the intestine was determined in 6-day-old sucklings and 6-week-old weaned rats 6 days after oral administration of 115mCd and 203Hg. The ileum was found to be the main site of intestinal retention of both cations in sucklings but not in weaned rats. Other age- and element-specific differences in the site of metal retention in the intestine were also found. These differences indicate that even in neonates, metal absorption might be a more specific process than previously assumed.Entities:
