Metabolismes of methylmercury sulfate and methylmercury iodide in animals

Nippon Eiseigaku Zasshi (Japanese Journal of Hygiene), 1967
Cats fed (CH3Hg)2SO4 developed the same findings as spontaneously affected cats fed the poisonous seafood from Minamata Bay. The organomercury compound in raw organs such as the liver, the kidney, and the bone marrow of the above animals did not transfer to chloroform, but it transferred easily to BAL.
