Mobilization of mercury from lean tissues during simulated migratory fasting in a model songbird.

Overall, change in blood THg was largely explained by change in lean mass ( F 1,40 = 3.74, p = 0.06).When we tested treatments separately, there was a marginally significant relationship between change in blood THg and change in lean mass for the 0.6 ppm group ( F 1,17 = 1.95, p = 0.07), but not for the 0.1 ppm ( F 1,14 = 1.33, p = 0.26) or 0.0 ppm groups ( F 1,7 = 2.25, p = 0.18; Fig. 2 ).
