Relative differences in mean values for Hg2+ excretion in urine

For NaCl rats received 0.9% normal saline (2 ml · kg−1); for DMSA rats received 100 mg · kg−1 DMSA 24 and 28 h after surgery. Each directional arrow indicates the relative change of a group identified by a row label with respect to a group identified by a column label.
