Mechanism of Methylmercury Cytotoxicity
CRC Critical Reviews in Toxicology, 1987Although a large number of epidemiological, clinical, and pathological studies on methylmercury intoxication have been published, these investigations have not been able to elucidate the detailed mechanisms by which the metal alkyl causes a wide variety of biological dysfunctions. Thus, the cultured cells which are free from the influence of whole body

Interactions of methylmercury with rat primary astrocyte cultures: methylmercury efflux
Brain Research, 1991Methylmercury (MeHg) efflux from rat astrocyte cultures was studied to complement our previous studies on uptake of MeHg in these cells. Exchange with extracellular MeHg was not obligatory for the efflux of [203Hg]MeHg into the extracellular media, because efflux occurred into MeHg-free extracellular media, but stimulation of [203Hg]MeHg net efflux was

Methylmercury Degradation by Trivalent Manganese
Environmental Science & Technology, 2023Methylmercury (MeHg) is a potent neurotoxin and has great adverse health impacts on humans. Organisms and sunlight-mediated demethylation are well-known detoxification pathways of MeHg, yet whether abiotic environmental components contribute to MeHg degradation remains poorly known.

Methylmercury photodegradation in paddy water: An overlooked process mitigating methylmercury risks
Water ResearchPhotodegradation is critical to reduce the potent neurotoxic methylmercury (MeHg) in water and its subsequent accumulation along food chains. However, this process has been largely ignored in rice paddies, which are hotspots of MeHg production and receive about a quarter of the world's developed freshwater resources.

Bioaccumulation of mercury and methylmercury
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution, 1995The factors controlling the accumulation of mercury in fish are poorly understood. The oil invoked lipid solubility of MMHg is an inadequate explanation because inorganic Hg complexes, which are not bioaccumulated, are as lipid soluble as their MMHg analogs and, unlike other hydrophobic compounds, MMHg in fish resides in protein rather than fat tissue.

Prenatal Methylmercury Poisoning
American Journal of Diseases of Children, 1979• Thirty-two infants prenatally exposed to methylmercury and their mothers were examined over a five-year period after the Iraqi methylmercury epidemic. Severity of poisoning in mothers was related to the peak mercury concentration in their hair and in the infants to the maximum concentration in maternal hair during pregnancy. In nine cases of cerebral

Somatosensory disturbance by methylmercury exposure
Environmental Research, 2008Minamata disease is methylmercury poisoning from consuming fish and shellfish contaminated by industrial waste. The polluted seafood was widely consumed in the area around Minamata, but many individuals were never examined for or classified as having Minamata disease.

Mechanisms of methylmercury‐induced neurotoxicity
The FASEB Journal, 1994Mercury in both organic and inorganic forms is neurotoxic. Methylmercury (MeHg) is a commonly encountered form of mercury in the environment. Early electrophysiological experiments revealed that MeHg potently affects the release of neurotransmitter from presynaptic nerve terminals.
