However, health effects of elevated arsenic and mercury levels in the environment must also be considered. [Pg.664]

Uptake, Absorption, Transport and Distribution, Metabolism and Elimination in Plants, Animals and Humans [Pg.664]

Most authors report higher tissue concentrations of antimony in the liver, kidney, and thyroid shortly after administration of antimony potassium tartrate to animals (Brady 1945, Westrick 1953). Unlike arsenic, inorganic trivalent antimony is not methylated in vivo but is excreted in the bile and urine after conjugation with glutathione [Pg.664]
