“…This supports the theory of a direct Hg-Se linkage. A high and enhanced tissue retention of both selenium and mercury has been observed by many workers (6,(8)(9)(10). According to Kosta, Byrne, and Zelenko, this suggests their removal from biological turnover.…”

“…The protective action of sodium selenite against the nephrotoxic effect of inorganic mercury (13,(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34) and the beneficial action of selenium in methylmercury poisoning has been described by many authors (33,(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47). Sodium selenite administration results in delayed occurrence of symptoms of neurological and histological disturbances and in enhanced life expectancy of exposed animals (40,43,48).…”
