The relationship between coelomic injections of mercuric chloride doses and osmoregulatory responses was measured. Response parameters were weight increases and blood osmolarity decreases 72 hr after dose administration. Massive edema and large decreases in blood osmolarity could be completely prevented by subcutaneous injections of equimolar sodium selenite. Mercury induced damage did not involve alterations of either selenium-dependent or non-selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase activities.
