Immature and adult coturnix quail were fed isolated soybean protein diets to which methylmercuric chloride or mercuric chloride were added with or without supplemental selenium for seven days. Samples of brain, blood, liver, and kidney were analyzed for total mercury and selenium via atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Selenium addition had no effect on the mercury concentration in kidney, brain, or blood but did tend to increase the concentration of mercury in the livers of the methylmercuric chloride-treated birds. Selenium in the presence of methylmercury increased the selenium concentration of liver and kidney but had little effect on the selenium concentration of brain or blood. Methylmercuric chloride supplementation resulted in increased selenium concentration in the blood of the selenium supplemented group. All other tissue selenium levels were unaffected by the addition of mercury.
将未成熟和成年的鹌鹑喂食添加了氯化甲基汞或氯化汞的分离大豆蛋白日粮，添加或不添加补充硒，持续7天。通过原子吸收分光光度法分析脑、血液、肝脏和肾脏样本中的总汞和硒含量。添加硒对肾脏、脑或血液中的汞浓度没有影响，但确实倾向于增加氯化甲基汞处理组鸟类肝脏中的汞浓度。在甲基汞存在的情况下，硒增加了肝脏和肾脏中的硒浓度，但对脑或血液中的硒浓度影响很小。补充氯化甲基汞导致补充硒组血液中的硒浓度增加。添加汞对所有其他组织的硒水平没有影响。
