Scientific paper

Two strains of White Leghorn chickens designated as R and S have been developed from common parentage at this station1. When chickens of these two strains were injected intramuscularly with 3 mg mercury as phenyl-mercuric acetate (PMA) or mercuric chloride/kg/body-wt., 2-4 times more mercury was retained by the livers and kidneys of the R strain chickens than was retained by the same organs from the S strain chickens2,3. Lillis et al.4 reported a similar differential retention when chickens from these strains were injected with 9.1 mg copper as cupric acetate/kg/body-wt.
