摘要：
The autometallographic silver enhancement technique has been used to demonstrate the ultrastructural localization of mercury in the testes of adult rats. Administration of mercuric chloride or methyl mercuric chloride in the drinking water (20 mg/L for 12 weeks) resulted in intracellular accumulations of mercury in the interstitial Leydig cells as well as in the Sertoli cells of the seminiferous tubules.
