Abstract: This study was designed to verify the usefulness of the cadmium (Cd) standard regression line (CSRL) in animals uncontaminated with lead (Pb), and to develop a new index for Pb if the CSRL could not be used. Although a significant regression line for Pb was obtained using a total of 69 data points cited in published references, four data points were eliminated by the statistical examination (min-Pb line), and the min-Pb line was significantly different from the CSRL. The data from animals to which Pb was administered and from wildlife obviously polluted with Pb diverged from the min-Pb line. The contents of other heavy metals, chromium, copper, manganese, zinc, arsenic, cobalt and selenium, in normal animals, cited from references, also fell on the min-Pb line, although the data for thallium fell on the CSRL. We named the min-Pb line the 'Mochizuki–Ueda line' because this line may become a widely used index for animals uncontaminated by multiple metals
