 Study Verifies the Effects of Mercury Exposure
Metametrix, in collaboration with the University of Georgia Department of Pharmacology and Biomedical Science, has completed a study verifying the effects of mercury exposure in rats. After collecting urine from a group of rats exposed to mercury, a peak in precoproporphyrin was detected. Metametrix is the first and only clinical laboratory to verify the critical effects of mercury on the biochemical pathway.
