Facilitated Porphyrinogen Oxidation

A second property of mercury which accounts for its porphyrinogenic action is the capacity of or CHsHg to promote formation of H2O2 and 

Porphyrin concentrations as measured in spot urine samples obtained from dentists whose urine contained no detectable mercury n = 37) and whose urine had total mercury concentrations equal to or greater than 20 //g/1 n = 56). Values represent means standard deviations of individual determinations.
