  1. A statistics analysis was used Anova and test.
  2. A, samples were analyzed using by ICP-MS and calculated following ppb (ug/L) × final volume (5 mL) × dilution factor (10 times) / organ weight.
  3. B, Organ weights were measured using by micro balance. Before measure weight, washed blood to di-water and wiped up to paper.
  4. C, The gold concentration (ng/g) × organ weight (g); N/D was analyzed sample silver concentration lower than compare with control.
  5. Statistics were analyzed Anova (multiple comparison analysis) and t-test. This result was described in Table that Anova was from a to cc and t-test was * and **.
