Abstract
Mercury-binding protein profiles in rat plasma at different levels of mercury exposure in vitro and in vivo were systematically investigated using column gel electrophoresis coupled with inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. The current finding provided various protein candidates that may play critical roles in mercury binding and transporting in plasma.
